Hi Alexander :)

Would your changes be compatible to 'normal' PCs with a /dev/fb0 
framebuffer? I'm thinking from the point of view of a software backend 
for VDR. If the OSD was already working, then the only remaining pieceof 
work would be hooking the stream output into libmpeg2.

In fact, using DirectFB would be even better, since it supports 
overlaying graphics on top of libmpeg2's output:)

Just a thought,
Gavin.
