I'm not actually looking to _switch_ decoding methods, just decode in
software in addition to decoding in hardware.  In other words,
duplicate the stream I'm receiving; send the whole stream to the pvr
and at the same time, in s/w, decode the video and put it in the
corner.

I already patched my code to make the alpha 255 so I don't get the
see-through.

Yea, I can test that if you get me some code.
