I think you are suggesting something that's been thrown around before.
Use mpeg2decish libvo everywhere and just have OMS 'subclass' them and
add its own functionality. That's probably the way things will have to
go if we want to share code. I'm assuming it will require some hooks or
callbacks in the base mpeg2dec libvo.
Sure it's doable. Just needs someone to do it. ;)

I doubt this will work. The reason we have this problem in the first
place is because walken wants to keep mpeg2dec testing output libs
simple and few. OMS has different goals.
At some point we need to wrap these outputs in widgets so we can have
dvd inside a window with other controls.
You know we'll have the same problems with ac3dec/libao. Plus the added
complexity that vorbis people have taken libao, improved it for their
needs, and even packaged it and put it in debian. We'll have some
naming conflicts if we dont cooperate. ;)
