148 Description: 24 bit LPCM
149 - Increasingly more DVDs use 24 bit LPCM sound. We should support it.
157 Description: Closed Captions/Teletext support
158 In order to conform to international regulations, VLC needs to be able to decode the closed captions in TV, DVD, DVB and HDTV video. V4L has a CC api, DVD and HDTV usually have them in a seperate stream.
159 Perhaps look at Xawtv, dvbtext and other vbi, vtx systems.
166 Description: DVB info in NIT
167 We need to get the information of a DVB stream that are in the NIT (current program, next program, ...)

186 Still no info over S/PDIF output available.
188 - G5 S/PDIF not working
189 - G5 PCM not working because S/PDIF is selected by default, even if not connected.

228 Description: Picture filters
229 picture per picture chained filter system that also works on output streams
236 Description: Vout redesign
237 - vout needs distinct splitting into vout_core, vout_window, pic_filter, vout_filter
238 - needs 'assistence' vout windows (clone filters, goom) etc.
239 - 4:3, 16:9, freeform Aspect Ratio
240 - cropping and padding (do at OS level, but provide a core call to set it up and configure).
241 - OSD at window resolution instead of video res (secondary vout channel)
242 - a OSD needs to be bound to a vout stream (no subs on goom vout)
243 - 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).
250 Description: SPU redesign
251 - multiple subpicture channels
252 - centralized rendering and use of chroma filters
253 - centralized scaling support
254 (also look at ogt/cvd sub work)
261 Description: intf / vout dependency
262 The application specific parts of the intf need to be brougth to the VLC application core. A valid NSApplication needs to be created on VLC opening, with the dock and menu hidden/disabled, only being generated on VLC intf loading.
263 (70% done) need to fix the interfaces again.
264 Status: Assigned to DJ
271 Port VLC skins to Objective C++ and OSX. Also requires the intf to be a dialog handler. Is slighly dependant on intf/vout dependency todoitem

290 - Inform the user, without disturbing him. (Buffering stream)
297 Description: Full H323 Videoconferencing

399 Description: SDL vout cleaning
400 The SDL vout hasn't been updated for a long while. It needs some cleaning up. New hotkeys support, better resizing, alignment etc. Even though SDL isn't used much, this vout shouldn't disappear, because it is a crossplatform API.
