Thank you for the response Barry. This definitely points me in an promising
direction, since I'm quite sure that the minimal_macosx is, by default,
outputting something using OpenGL.
Do you have any ideas for how I would practically implement this for use
with PyQt and the python-ctypes VLC bindings, or should I consider modifying
the contents of minimal_macosx to allow me to use PyQt somehow?
Thanks!
