The directx driver is a complete mess.
There is also a great bug with the -wid parameter: if you start a movie
with -wid, make it fullscreen then, and the player exits, the window
specified by the handle -wid will be completely messed up, and need to
be destroyed and a new one created.
I will try to clean up the whole code and fix the bugs in it, but I have
very little time for it by now. Maybe on the weekend.
Anyway I try to implement a new switch, which I call -fswid: I play to
use it for fullscreen mode because I want mplayer to be controlled
completely from my frontend, but currently fullscreen mode implements
mplayer's own window so it processes inputs. I don't want this.

If anyone has a decent directx.c please post it.

ps: the directsound driver needs a minor bugfix also: when the mplayer
process is killed extrenally, there is a noise - directsound plays the
empty buffer. It should be stopped I think. Sorry for not implementing
bugfix, but again I have very little time.
