+Urgency: Critical
+Description: Fix backwards moves
+ Sometimes the frames seem to go backwards for a short period of
+ time. This is due to the output methods and is known to happen
+ with the x11 and SDL plugins.
+Status: Todo

+Task: 0x3d
+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
+ mode, we should print these structures regularly, or at quit
+ time (whichever is the more convenient).

+Description: Separate optimizations from debug mode
+ We sometimes want to have the debug mode (which writes an
+ interesting log of debug messages) along with the compiler
+ optimizations (which allow decoding of more than 2 fps).

+Difficulty: Easy
+Urgency: Important
+Description: Write intf_WarnMsg and intf_StatMsg
+ We have intf_ErrMsg to display fatal errors, but warnings are
+ drowned in an ocean of unreadable intf_DbgMsg. Same for
+ statistics messages.

+Description: Support SDL Overlay
+ The SDL livrary has routines to use the video board to do the YUV
+ conversion, scaling and displaying. Using them will require a
+ partial rewrite of the video_output way of handling rendering
+ and displaying.

+Description: Rewrite the font display routines
+ The current font display routines aren't powerful enough. There
+ should be a way to display a big String at once, without needing
+ to compute the size of the string and its coordinates beforehand.

+Description: Make aout eat less CPU
+ When the vlc is launched without a stream, the audio_output thread
+ eats all memory, probably because there is no msleep() when no data
+ is available in the audio_output queue.

+Description: Fix motion compensation bug
+ The motion compensation still has a small bug which can be well

+Task: 0x36
+Difficulty: Medium
+Urgency: Normal
+ Description:
+ . Finish the new keyboard input interface to support
+ interfaces that allow modifiers. This will allow the SDL to run
+ properly.
+ . Here are some details:
+ Allow any interface to have its own set of keys:
+ - allow the 'discovery' of the main interface of the binding
+ created by each interface:
+ what key ("control-C", what action (INTF...))
+ - extend the interface by a specific struct (meta+modifier+ascii)
+ - implement an interface specific getKey function.

+Description: Fix plugins namespace problem
+ When compiling a plugin, all symbols seem to be exported, while we
+ actually just need GetConfig and a few other things: the other
+ functions are accessed through function pointers.

+Description: Fix plugin autoloading
+ At the moment, plugins to be detected are hardcoded in the code. We
+ need a better method to get all available plugins, by listing all the
+ files in selected directories.

+Task: 0x33
+Difficulty: Hard
+Urgency: Important
+Description: Real plugin API
+ We need some functions to register plugins, automatically detect which
+ ones are the most appropriate, as well as ways to express that plugin
+ A won't work unless plugin B is activated as well.

+Task: 0x32
+Difficulty: Medium
+Urgency: Important
+Description: Enable compiled-in plugins
+ Some plugins may have their place inside the main program, such as the
+ dummy plugin, or the beos plugin under BeOS. We should allow to link
+ them with the main app.

+Description: Optimize SPU rendering
+ There is an if() in the SPU display routine to double lines when needed,
+ whiwh is rather inefficient. It should be removed and put outside
+ the main loop.
