Usually he reads this list, too.

Anyway, since vdr does not check the return code (see dvbosd.c,
cDvbOsd:Cmd), you can probably return whatever you like. :D

I would remove the 'out' label completely. The way it is used is bad
programming style. It's not required, a simple 'break' will do.

What are OSD_SetTrans, OSD_GetPixel, OSD_Query and OSD_Test good for?
Obviously they are not implemented and should be removed,
i.e. just return -EINVAL.
