AAlib section updated

		F toggles fullscreen/windowed mode
		C cycles available fullscreen modes
		W/S mappings for * and / (mixer control)

  KNOWN BUGS:
  - Keys pressed under aalib console driver repeat forever. (use -vo aa !)
    It's bug in SDL, I can't change it (tested with SDL 1.2.1).


  <A NAME=2.2.1.4>2.2.1.4.  SVGAlib

  <B>AAlib</B> is a library for displaying graphics in text mode, using powerful
  ASCII renderer. There are LOTS of programs already supporting it, like Doom,
  Quake, etc. MPlayer contains a very usable driver for it.
  If ./configure detects aalib installed, the aalib libvo driver will be built.
  It uses some keys to change Fast rendering ON/OFF, dithering mode change,
  inverse picture, contrast, brightness. Use -vo aa and look out for the help
  text.

  NOTE: the rendering is very CPU intensive, especially when using AA-on-X
        (using aalib on X), and it's least CPU intensive on standard,
        non-framebuffer console. Use SVGATextMode to set up a big textmode,
        then enjoy! (secondary head Hercules cards rock :)) (anyone can enhance
        fbdev to do conversion/dithering to hgafb? Would be neat :)

  <A NAME=2.2.2>2.2.2.  Audio output devices

  - OSS (ioctl) driver
  - SDL driver (supports up/downsampling, esd, arts etc)

- patched <B>MPlayer</B> to work on FreeBSD x86

Bertrand BAUDET: <[e-mail]>
- network streaming support

Folke Ashberg: <[e-mail]
- native AAlib driver (-vo aa)

  You can use some keys in the AA Window to change rendering options:
        1 : switch fast rendering on/off
        2 : set dithering mode (none, error distribution, floyd steinberg)
        3 : invert image
        4 : decrease contrast
        5 : increase contrast
        6 : decrease brightness
        7 : increase brightness
  

  The following command line options can be used:
	-aaosdcolor=V : change osd color
	-aasubcolor=V : change osd color
              where V can be: (0/normal, 1/dark, 2/bold, 3/boldfont, 4/reverse, 5/special) 
	      
        AAlib itselves provides a large sum of options.
	Here are some important:
	-aadriver     : set recommended aa driver (X11, curses, linux)
	-aaextended   : use all 256 characters
	-aaeight      : use eight bit ascii
	-aahelp       : prints out all aalib options
	
	

        

  NOTE: the rendering is very CPU intensive, especially when using AA-on-X
        (using aalib on X), and it's least CPU intensive on standard,
        non-framebuffer console. Use SVGATextMode to set up a big textmode,
        then enjoy! (secondary head Hercules cards rock :)) (anyone can enhance
	fbdev to do conversion/dithering to hgafb? Would be neat :)
	
	Use the -framedrop option if your comp isn't fast enough to render all frames!

	Playing on terminal you'll get better speed and quality using the linux driver, not
	curses (-aadriver linux). But therefore you need write access on /dev/vcsa<terminal>!
	That isn't autodetected by aalib, bu vo_aa tries to find the best mode.
	See http://aa-project.sourceforge.net/tune/ for further tuning issues.
