Sounds cool.  The docs are the source...

Try looking through libs/libmythtv and look at videoout_xxx

To follow the output loop, start at NuppelVideoPlayer.cpp and work from 
there. 

 From reading the list, I suspect that it is the other stuff that you 
will problems with then, ie the OSD overlays, and the menus

Let us know how you get on.
