A textured XVideo adapter could also have the advantage that you can play more than just one
video at the same time. NVidia had that ages ago in their binary driver (because their cards
could do the color conversion on stretchblit AFAIK).

How... useful.
Do you have a multistreamed consciousness, or something? How on earth can
you pay *attention* to two videos at the same time? (And if you're only
paying attention to one, isn't the other one annoying, flickering away in
the background?)

Think several browser tabs with embedded video players. Only one of them may actually play at
any time, but only one of them can get the single overlay port.

Argh, yes, I see, because they won't even display a paused image without
an overlay.
