Where is this relevant and wouldn't it make more sense in a
video4linux(1/2) device? 
It makes no sense for playback, because you know what you are
playing. For a demux as source, you can handle it inside the
driver. Any information needed for the display should then be handled
by the display device, i.e. a v4l device.
