I meant if we can't put the renderer inside the vo, lets put it just before 
the vo, as the last filter in the chain. This seems to be the most safe place 
for it. If user wants to put it in some other place - he probably knows what 
he is doing.

In any case rendering and blending occur in the same place (either vf or vo), 
and bitmaps are never passed anywhere. Looks good.
