Actually I didn't think of that yet. I have no idea...
Any good idea welcomed (but no XML please:))

For now I'm rtying to encapsulate every neede dinfo into the URL,
it works for stream layer most time.
(like dvd://titleno[.chapter-range]:[angle][/device])

I don't want to overcomplicate this. Maybe a simple struct like our
config_t now, usable to export any parameters from the libraries for
the UI. For the runtime configuration changes there will be a control()
function for each API.

No plans yet, but I affraid i can't avoid solving this problem soon :(
(as I need to pass many parametesr to the demuxers)
