Features are always welcome on the ;ailing list. After we decide if we
want to inegrate it inside vlc or , if not, it's good to keep the patch
in the archives if other users look for this feature or if we change our
opinion.

The best way to submit changes is to send a patch against the current
svn using the "svn diff" command. If you don't use svn, you can do "diff
-Naur original_tree changed_tree".
