157 Description: Closed Captions/Teletext support

223 - vout needs distinct splitting into vout_core, vout_window, pic_filter, vout_filter
224 - needs 'assistence' vout windows (clone filters, goom) etc.
225 - 4:3, 16:9, freeform Aspect Ratio
226 - cropping and padding (do at OS level, but provide a core call to set it up and configure).
227 - OSD at window resolution instead of video res (secondary vout channel)
228 - a OSD needs to be bound to a vout stream (no subs on goom vout)
229 - 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).
236 Description: SPU redesign
237 - multiple subpicture channels
238 - centralized rendering and use of chroma filters
239 - centralized scaling support
