Yes, I thought about it but this is one major drawback: using the same struct definition for 2 different API.
There won't be any safeguard against using a es_out display function on any other es_outs.

There are 2 ways to fix it:
 - Add a enum type in es_out_t struct, and assert the type from es_out display functions.
 - Add an other type for es_out_t display, since only timeshift and input.c are the client, it won't need any modification in demux modules.

I can do that later, like I said, I would like to push my 43 patches branch first.
In the meantime, we can drop these  2 commits.
