If the OSD of the DVB cards wouldn't be such a limited resource, I would
have made it so that the volume display could be displayed "in front of"
any currently opened OSD. Unfortunately the developers of the DVB card
felt they had to save a few pennies by not implementing the full 4MB SDRAM.
I normally don't wish anything bad to happen to anybody, but I sure wish
those guys two years of diarrhea, with not a single piece of toilet paper...
