I know.

Feel free to add stuff to the list :)

Yes. Maybe the filters Xine has are ok (except the software scaling)

In that case, there is a bug in kaa.xine. When I use kaa.player and
create a window larger than the video size, I get no scaling. Changing
the window once updates xine.

Long list: kaa.canvas, kaa.xine, tags in kaa.db and mplayer
overlay. We need all these (except tagging) for a 2.0 pre1 release.
