To speed up the OSD for VDR, Klaus Schmiedinger implemented a OSD-class which 
is sending bitmaps to the DVB-card. I derived from VDR's OSD-class and 
exchanged the code which sends the bitmap to the DVB-card by code which sends 
the bitmap via pipe to my application. This application puts the bitmap on 
the VGA-card then (by using DirectFb). Therefore it looks exactly the same 
like in the original VDR.
