-SDL (Simple Directmedia Layer) is basically a unified
-video/audio interface. Programs that use it know only about SDL, and not
-about what video or audio driver does SDL actually use. For example a Doom
-port using SDL can run on svgalib, aalib, X, fbdev, and others, you only
-have to specify the (for example) video driver to use with the
-SDL_VIDEODRIVER environment variable. Well, in theory.

-With MPlayer, we used its X11 driver's software
-scaler ability for cards/drivers that doesn't support XVideo, until we made
-our own (faster, nicer) software scaler. Also we used its aalib output, but
-now we have ours which is more comfortable. Its DGA mode was better than
-ours, until recently. Get it now? :)

-It also helps with some buggy drivers/cards if the video is jerky (not slow
-system problem), or audio is lagging.

-SDL video output supports displaying subtitles under the movie, on the (if
-present) black bar.
