but we could fix it in libvo2, imho it's because when no frmaes are displayed 
flip_page isn't caled, which calls check_events, so if we add a parm to 
flip_page equivalent in libvo2 which signals wether to display image or not 
this would be no problem.
Or even better(?) create an extra standard function check events which is 
periodically called.
