See <a href="http://www.meetnewplayers.com/bend/Windows%20Media%20-%20Fun%20with%20asx%20files2.htm">this</a> for asx examples.

-This is now fixed, but there is a problem with buffers in the resampler that now sometimes overflows (or rather get changed after they are released). A good method for reproduction seems to be running Finding Nemo for a minute or 8.

-- cropping and padding (do at OS level, but provide a core call to set it up and configure).<br />
-- OSD at window resolution instead of video res (secondary vout channel)<br />
-- a OSD needs to be bound to a vout stream (no subs on goom vout)<br />
-- Use OS native calls where appropriate, with 'C' fallbacks. (OpenGL, Quartz, DirectX already has many of the funtionalities we seek and sometimes they are a lot faster too).<br />
-- Allow a vout to reuse a window by resizing it (instead of closing and opening).
