You will still be able to use mplayer or xine. The default is xine
right now because gstreamer lacks AC3 pass-through (and gst support in
kaa.popcorn is very basic).

We will use no gl output from the player, we use the gl output of
clutter. You will have two choices for Freevo 2.0:
1. Use xv as you are doing now. No additional CPU load but we can not
draw on top of the player and we can not show the video inside
Freevo as a small window. Consider that the fallback.
2. All player will render themself into a clutter.Texture which will
use GL to draw the video. Once it is inside a Texture we can draw
stuff on it, rotate it, scale it, etc. This _may_ result in a
higher CPU load depending on your graphic card. E.g. Jason has
close to no additional CPU load for NVidia while I have a high load
using an Intel chip.
Freevo 2.0 will use clutter as UI backend which uses GL. If you have
software GL with mesa you should use the fallback without OSD.
