I know that dvbout for Xine is really simple (sure not simple enough for
me, but simple). Xine is already doing realtimeencoding to mpeg for DXR3
output! AFAIK this is already the right way, the only thing is to 
adapt to the API of the DVB-driver. (And this can't be very difficult,
since you can use VDR's resources)
