A long while ago (May 2000?) we put some code in cvs in the luxdvd
module. It hasn't been touched since. Requests come on the list every
so often. Seems to be a lack of demand for this to work among the
developers, sorry. You'll have to work on it yourself or find someone
to do so. I imagine integrating it will be similar to what the dxr3
people have been doing (just a guess.. i haven't looked at either code
base).
