TODO list for libmpeg2new.

Hi,

I thought I would just document here what still needs to be done to 
libmpeg2new before we have it functional enough to maybe replace the old 
libmpeg2 code.
The major difference between the libmpeg2new code and the old libmpeg2 
code is that the libmpeg2new code uses the latest libmpeg2 api from 
http://libmpeg2.sourceforge.net

Currently, libmpeg2new can play a media stream without any problems.
If people want to test it, just go to the ./xine-lib/src/libmpeg2new and 
do make install. It just overrides the other libmpeg2 in the plugins 
directory.

Still TODO: -

1) The mpeg2_reset function does NOT work. (required for seeking)
2) CC - Closed caption support.

Regarding (1)
The libmpeg2 from libmpeg2.sf.net does not have a mpeg2_reset function, 
so I tried to add one.
I have managed to patch the libmpeg2 code so that it properly handles 
the image buffers, so that it allocates them and releases them correctly 
during normal play. This works fine for normal streams, DVD menus, DVD 
stills etc.
Seeking is still messy, with image breakups etc.
The mpeg2_reset function has two tasks: -
1) output any pending incomplete images as bad images and release all 
image buffers. (mostly done)
2) reset mpeg2 so that it starts looking for a new image in the stream.
I have not managed to get this working. If anyone can get the 
mpeg2_reset() function working in libmpeg2new it would be a great help.

Regarding (2).
I don't have any DVDs with CC on them, so cannot test it.

Once we have (1) working, we will be much more up to date with the 
libmpeg2 at libmpeg2.sf.net

Cheers
James
