I'd be very interested in having vf_expand inserted if the VO didn't  
support VFCAP_OSD. At the moment nothing happens if you take that  
out, but I've got a patch to vo_macosx that makes it twice as fast at  
the expense of removing the OSD drawing, and vf_expand is just as  
fast and uses less GPU resources than going and reimplementing the  
drawing in OpenGL.
