This might be an idea, however the a and s key are catches in the xmms
plugin and not in libvisual, but i think it's a nice idea to have
events like 'switch' and being able to bind this to an key. Good idea!

Yeah, with some luck i've got loads of time!, i saw at the project-m
page that sdl-1.3, or better sdl cvs DOES support off screen render
buffers for gl, you might want to check that out. We'll be looking
in the whole gl issue after i'am done with the presented TODO list
for the upcoming weeks. It's good to have an gl knowit onboard so
this gets fixed good :)
