So are you saying that slices can be RGB as well?  I thought I had read
in DOCS/tech/ that they are YV12 _only_.  If slices can be RGB, then I
would love to simplify my code.

I agree, I don't think it's the cleanest solution.  I'm trying to work
around what I thought were limitations in the vo api (only slices in
yv12...), but if I'm wrong then please recommend a good solution for me.
