Does mplayer let you skip between channels?
Or at least choose another channel while watching one?
Can it display info about the current show in its OSD?

I know XvMC is a feature of X11 - but I meant taking advantage of the
feature (Though mplayer would use it of course)

Pausing was just an example. What about closed caption support,
tele text support?
But here you _might_ have a point. Maybe support for this should be
implemented in mplayer instead of making mythtv (the tv watching part)
I guess that's why the myth developers uses libraries - so they don't
have to reinvent the wheel all the time.
