Hello Adrian (and anyone reading)!

Lately I'm working a bit on mplayer2 and vo_corevideo. I am realizing the shared_buffer code is going to hold back further developments of the code not using shared buffer. I'm thinking about extracting the shared buffer code in a different video output (let's say vo_mmap) and keep evolving the real corevideo code.

In this transition I would like to keep compatibility with MPlayer OSX Extended, so I was thinking about adding a new field to the plist in the .mpBinaries bundle to give a hint of which video output it should use.

Are you in general ok with this kind of approach? If you are busy I could prepare the patch to the gui myself (maybe I will need a few pointers to the code).

Thank you!
