Yes, it can. But due to my limlited time it is currently not (yet)
implemented.
As you might know, the OSD is defined with 2 Bpp. Each of these four
colors could be mapped to a palette with 16 entries. Therefore normaly
only four colors are available.  
But the SPU format allows the definition of highlight regions which have
its own mapping to the palette. If the different color usage is limited
to bigger regions (like in VDR) one could define such highlight regions
were it is needed.

- Viewing encrypted channels is only possible with DVB-s card.
- More system load due to continious transfer mode (but not too much)

I have no problem with that.
