"dxr3" sounds nice, although the hollywood+-card should work with that
driver as well?

I don't think we really need metronom plugins but we can make metronom a
bit more flexible to accept external clock sources. Metronom should still
be the central module for all pts->vpts calculations and it should manage
all negotiations about who will be in charge of providing the master clock
(system clock, input plugin (think of broadcast-streams), audio decoder,
audio output, video decoder, video output - all these can be candidates).
