That would not work for this use. If the OSD messages are generated
normally no temporary change of osd_level gives the desired effect.

More generally I think adding save status inside MPlayer would be
unnecessary complexity (and much more significant complexity than this
OSD-specific patch). Similar functionality can be achieved by querying
the value of the property, storing it on the controlling side and then
later setting the property back to the queried value.
