You can dare me in a year - digging into C++ has been scheduled for the
next month (otherwise I'd already bombed you with code)! ;o)

But as the DEBUG_OSD is already displayed on terminal it should be possible 
to send the ?bitmaps? to DirectFB. I've read in DirectFB-docu it can handle several 
layers and I think I've also read DirectFB can zoom. So the proof-of-concept 
is only a matter of C++ to be or not to be ...

But I think the real problem will be A/V-syncing.

P.S.: A plugin-version without patching VDR certainly won't work as I don't think 
a plugin has enough access to OSD_DEBUG-classes. Klaus?
