Which reminds me of the mplayer/mencoder in one binary patch that was posted 
a while ago. What happened to that? :)  I thought it was a good idea and it 
also might help with "viewing the output while it's encoding" that somebody 
asked about. If libvo is in the binary, mencoder could use that while it's 
also writing to a file. Something like have a split video vf that's added 
to the normal filter chain. One direction follows the normal encoding path 
it is doing now, and the other path of the split goes to vf_vo and some 
libvo output.

Hmm, I just see this goes to -docs and not -dev, but anyway :-))
