In video_out.h the API is actually somewhat documented. Although it's 
incomplete, it does say config returns 0 on success and !0 otherwise. Some 
functions do the same and others are not defined there, but looking at 
actual vo's, they return VO_TRUE/FALSE/etc...

So, OK, it is according to the API, but IMHO that's not a consistent and 
clean API and should be fixed eventually :-)
