The thread used by it can still be restarted, but it will allow to move
some variable from vout_sys_t to event_thread_t.

It is more symetric with StopEventThread.

This was requested for Arabic.

The smem sout module allows you to stream out to memory buffer.
Currently only video is implemented. This module should be used
with the transcode sout module, to get raw data from it.

Added a new option, play-and-pause. When this option is set, the input thread is automatically paused when each item reaches the end of the file.

This option is intended to make it easier to use VLC during live
productions featuring instructors and speakers working
with American Sign Language (ASL), or really any Sign Language, where
it is common for a lecturer to refer to video clips during a
presentation. The automatic pausing provides a smooth pause for the
video operator to switch the projection system back to the camera
with the live speaker once a clip has finished playing.

The avcodec module can be successfully opened to encode subtitle formats
that it recognizes, but support is absent and pf_encode_sub is never
set, which leads to a crash.

This piece of code really ought to be fixed better than that

Info they provide is typically also present in the text or
not usefull to VLC.

The fourcc of I420 was not recognized durring vout init so a fallback to YV12
was used - which flipped the U and V colorplanes.

(I'am not sure if this is the correct solution for this, a developer knowing
the video output more in detail should have a look on this.)

(It wouldn't hurt to make VLC align pixel lines more strongly, but I am
 not sure if this is feasible)

Without this, the PulseAudio output is completely useless. PulseAudio
provides ALSA emulation, so VLC would always use ALSA. Now, it will use
ALSA if PulseAudio is not available, but avoid the PulseAudio ALSA
emulation which makes more sense. Either way, if your PulseAudio setup
is broken, you are screwed - this change makes no difference.

The main interface video window calls are re-entrant nowadays.
