Well, almost everything can be fixed, if one spends time on it. Currently, it 
has no high priority for me.

On the other hand, development in xine goes on too, and once there was a 
discussion about the future of OSD. Currently, it seems that the unscaled OSD 
is the favorite solution. Maybe future output drivers support semi-transparent 
color keying, which currently is the major limitation of xine's unscaled OSD.

Another way would be, to drop using xine's OSD for implementing VDR's OSD. By 
using xine's post-processing plugin API, proper blending would already be 
possible. But that's another story :-)

Bye.
