Then we agree we disagree. But as you control the source... ;-)
I think it is ugly when I for instance want to add hardware MPEG out 
support I would not only have to modify the videooutput class, but also add 
a test for the output wanted to the player and let it choose what subclass 
to instantiate. Why would the player need to know if the output is going 
via XV, framebuffer or hardware MPEG? The output class should hide all the 
gory implementation details from the player.

OK. Indeed I wanted a single menu-context to this end.

I must have a look into the PIP support then, I presumed it would be an XV 
overlay on top of anotherer XV overlay. I presume now you insert the 
picture data yourself in the master-video like the OSD.
