Hmm... Please correct me if I'm wrong, but does it make sense to use non
0 x,y if you don't have the OSD API defined?
I suspect that this feature is really interesting with OSD. If so, maybe
we can discuss it a little later, together with OSD API. For example, we
may thing on one tv out positioning API, generic enough to be used by
both mpeg output and osd. Something like:
struct {
enum type {
OSD,
VIDEO
}
int x,y;
}
