I don't mean to keep anybody from implementing their favourite kind
of OSD handling. All I'm saying is that *my personal* opinion ist
that I want the OSD to be transparently "above" the video picture
(no matter if it is a replayed recording or a live picture). I use the
OSD e.g. to sometimes check if there is new email, and it would IMO be
extremely annoying if I had to stop replaying every time I want to do that.

But that need not keep others from doing it their way...
