i doubt, if you don't have any video output performance problems. i haven't 
been able to build it, dunno wheter it's being maintained, the dha module i 
mean.

that i do not know, but you seem to use the same driver (vidix) with every one 
of those outputs, so i guess it's almost the same. try running mplayer with 
-benchmark.
