I'm going to make the OSD interface in VDR more abstract while I implement
the plugin feature, so it should be no problem to redirect the VDR OSD to any
device that can display a bitmap image (simple bitmap data as used in VDR/dvbosd.c).
All you will need to do is implement a function that can transfer a region of bitmap
data from the VDR data structure to the target display.
