IMHO audio out formats need a few functions similar to libao2 in MPlayer to 
be really useful in building an audio/video player, like 
get_delay/latency/space. If there's get_space(), perhaps a non-blocking 
output isn't necessary or wanted. Video out formats should have functions 
like draw_osd, get_buffer (for direct rendering) and flip_page. If 
write_packet is used/defined to write full frames, something like 
draw_slice would be useful too. Both video and audio out formats need a 
control function to control for example hardware treble/bass/volume/pan or 
hardware chroma/luma/saturation etc.. Also, a function to capture events 
(IR remote control, keypresses, mouse movements) and send them back to the 
application would be useful too. Perhaps by calling a user supplied 
callback function that processes the event.

Thanks! Perhaps you could make it svn-ready or post it here so we can do it 
together? (or is it already posted somewhere and I missed it?)
