Recently Decklink/Blackmagic SDI cards got my interest after seeing the prices of nVidia SDI grade cards. Obviously an SDI output is just a mapped framebuffer not a fancy 3D OpenGL grade card or remotely having accelerated video.

Would the VirtualCRTC idea also support more trivial stuff, like routing a screen to an encoder (in ffmpeg analogue to x11grab) for screen recording capabilities. Or the above example direct mapping from one framebuffer to a non-graphics card framebuffer?
