xv and x11 have the same problem. The problem is that the OSD is drawn on top
of the movie but some codecs don't redraw everything every frame (which is good,
faster). This results in that sometimes when the codec redraws parts of the
frame some parts of the OSD disappear but others remain which is ugly.

One way to solve this is to always draw the osd above or below the movie
instead. This is currently done with -vo sdl if there is enough screen space.

Another way is to disable direct rendering if osd is used. But the direct
rendering speed increase is quite nice to have...
