 Some DVB radio providers use a private section stream to broadcast "Now
 Playing" information. This patch parses and displays that information. It
 is enabled from the OSD settings -> "Enable Now Playing" and has it's own
 OSD timeout setting as well.

 Considering there is no 100% way of determining that the stream contains
 radio text information, there are several sanity check done. Hopefully
 nothing tragic will happen if it is enabled and the stream contains
 something different.

 This is patch 1 of 2, the first against MythTV and the second against
 themes. I'll add the second patch in the coming days. For those eager to
 give this a try, add the following to your favorite OSD theme:

  <container name="now_playing" fademovement="0,0">
    <image name="background">
      <filename>now_playing.png</filename>
      <position>90,74</position>
    </image>
     <textarea name="playing">
       <area>290,100,240,220</area>
       <font>infofont</font>
       <multiline>yes</multiline>
    </textarea>
  </container>

 And download the following graphic to your OSD theme's directory:
