Thanks, alsa input works ok now, although still upside down (I only  
noticed it on the G-Force text.) What am I doing wrong?

In my project I want the option to choose random plug-ins. I started  
hacking some nasty code to switch plug-in, but noticed  
visual_bin_switch_actor_by_name(). How does this work? Will it create a  
new actor? ... destroy the old? ... preserve rundepth (8bit -> 24bit) set  
during visual_actor_video_negotiate()?

Not entirely on the topic of libvisual, but in my project I'm rendering  
the plug-in in the background with some other tings in front of it.  
However when I tried with the OpenGL based plug-ins it is a royal mess. It  
displays, but there are lots of strange artifacts. I'm pretty sure it's  
due to me messing up OpenGL buffers and attributes the plug-in uses and it  
messing it up for me. The question is (besides any good ideas on how to do  
this in a working fassion): are OpenGL plug-ins allowed everything (by  
convention) or do they adhere to some rules which may make my life simpler?

Are there anyone working on a xine-lib input plug-in?

I've started writing on a small tutorial and I'll 'bomb' the example with  
relevant comments. I'll post it for review when it's done.

No urls at the moment. It isn't release worthy yet. But it'll be  
open-sourced and I'll post something here when I unleash it on the net  
(shouldn't be many weeks.)

best,
