dvdnav needs several things:
- a way to change the video, audio, and/or sub streams while in the middle 
  of play back.
- a way to stop video decode, and keep displaying the last rendered frame
- a way to "flush" the video decode to the screen.  for example "play 
  everything that's current in the buffer, but don't ask for any more than 
  that."  That would be used for smooth video stream changes.  Same thing
  might be needed for audio and sub changes, too.
- better spu handling, but so far, I'm not really sure what's needed.  It
  looks like it needs the ability to change the palette on an existing 
  SPU, and then only render a certain rectangle of the entire spu's
  image.  It seems that menu SPUs are an entire image, and that when
  selections move, the rectangle for what's "visible" from that menu SPU
  changes, along with palette information.
