Wishlist: render to OpenGL texture rather than window.

Hi,

I've been looking through the code of the OpenGL video output plugin in
Xine, since I was planning on creating an application that uses OpenGL
but also displays (sometimes small, sometimes large) videos.
Unfortunately, what I want to do doesn't seem to be possible using the
OpenGL output plugin: have Xine decode the video into a texture rather
than into an entire window.

As I understand the code (xine 1.1.19), it looks like a texture is
generated, but that texture is displayed by the plugin unconditionally.

How hard would it be to create the possibility to have the libxine-using
application set up the GL environment and decide where the animated
texture needs to be displayed?

Thanks,
