+Urgency: Critical
+Description: Enhance intf_*Msg
+ The intf_*Msg functions could be more clever : add "mymodule

+Difficulty: Easy
+Urgency: Normal
+Description: Have more statistics messages displayed
+ The vlc has structures to keep track of the interesting
+ events, but there is no way to print these structures. In stats
