what do i need beside of this sources?
--------------------------------------
an external mpeg decoder (like nist, or aaron's mpeg2dec)

how do i build this beast?
--------------------------
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install

how do i run this program?
--------------------------
1)	mpeg2dec /tmp/video &
	ac3dec /tmp/audio &
	oms
2)	mpeg2video -f /tmp/video &
	ac3dec /tmp/audio &
	oms

i don't want to hear sound!
---------------------------
ok, just delete the /tmp/audio pipe.

audio and video are not in sync!
--------------------------------
that's caused by the sync function used right now, it varies heavily
with buffer filling of the codecs - this will change in the near future.

when playing video AND audio the sound stops, or the video stops.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
so one of your streams ist faster than this is normal (or the other
one is slower). so this is cause by a quite loose synchronization
(when the buffeer is full) - here one stream has to wait until 
theres some room in the buffer. you cannot avoid this right now,
this will vanish when syncing is implementing (dropping or smaller
amounts of waits - so that the user isn't aware there's something
not in real time - in the best case)
 
can i use this thing for other streams, than just plain DVDs?
-------------------------------------------------------------
yes - right now, you're able to play files from disk (PS stream)
	for example: trailers copied to harddisk from your own DVDs 

how do i submit new entries to the DVDDB?
-----------------------------------------
1) create a file (see src/dvddb/testfile for reference) and name it
	as you wish (f.e. matrix.dvddb)
2) insert your DVD
3) run `srv/dvddb/putdb matrix.dvddb`

what about subpictures?
-----------------------
subpictures ARE supported, but disabled by default, until we've built
in the codecs, and can have the subpicture output combine with the 
video output.
- if you'd like to preview, uncomment TOAST_SPU in src/plugin/decode/codec.c
	and recompile
 
#if 0	// will be supported
what about this RAW-IO supported by the latest linux kernels?
-------------------------------------------------------------
RAW I/O is supported, but if you don't have the correct interfaces,
data will be read from the standard, buffered device. So if you really
wanna use RAW IO (and you really should do that ;), you have to make:
(if they don't exist)

mknod /dev/rawctl c 162 0
mknod /dev/raw1 c 162 1
#endif
