Hi,

I heavily agree with Klaus's opinion, that it would be VERY important to get
back the OSD memory of at least the same size at is was before.
What about the idea to use the on-card memory for both purposes (OSD and
audio buffer) simultaniously, maybe restricted by prohibiting any OSD during
playback ?
What about deleting the OSDText-ioctl and all the memory (assumingly) used
by character tables or similar things. This function is not used by VDR, and
is not very useful at all (mainly because it's slow and impossible to get an
information where the cursor is after written something to the screen).
