[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] ggi osd support added

[spdepagn at ncsu.edu]

Hi, I have added support for the osd to the ggi output driver.  I am
wondering why the osd is implemented so each output driver must implement
it.

I do not know much about the inner-workings of mplayer, but to me this
seems to only make it more difficult to write output drivers.

Instead, why not do the alpha blending for the osd before ever calling the
functions within the output driver?  This way the output plugin will only
ever know about the fully blended data, it is also potentially more
efficient.  If this seems reasonable I would be willing to make the needed
changes, otherwise this patch will allow ggi to use the osd.

I have applied it like this:
...mplayer $ patch -p1 < mplayer_ggi_osd.patch

Thanks,
Sean D'Epagnier
