I guess I could.  I know it won't get included though -- the devs won't
like how I'm handling slave commands.  They will tell me to move the
handling code into mplayer.c, and I'll get annoyed, because that's
entirely lame.

The second problem is that overlay slave commands need to be processed
in between frames, and also while the video is paused.  Moving that
logic into mplayer.c will make it far uglier.  But the way I'm doing it
now requires the vf to call mp_input_get_cmd() and
mp_input_add_cmd_filter(), which means that I need to add these two
functions as stubs to mencoder.c.  In the end, the mplayer devs will
like neither approach, and the result is that nothing will ever get done
and my patch will sit forever in limbo, as it has done the other 3 or so
times I have submitted it.

Do I sound like a cynic? :)
