Where to set the pixel format of the video output overlay?
Video (input) overlays don't need it to be set, because they adapt to
the frame buffer or override the video signal.

For v4l3 maybe some parts of video outputs should be moved to video
output overlays. IMHO video outputs should define only things like tv
standard, audio output, modulation, cropping rectangle, etc. and all
rendering should be done via video output overlays (f.ex. one for MPEG
and one for OSD). Then we wouldn't need that V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_OUTPUT_POS
kludge and could use v4l2_window instead (which should be relative to
the cropping rectangle of the video output).
Video output overlays not associated with a video output should be able
to do what vidix has tried to do: Provide access to the video scalers on
graphics cards.
