+Summary: mpeg2subt/subtitle plugins
+
+We've currently got three text-on-video overlay plugins: mpeg2subt
+(overlays mpeg2 subtitles on a mpeg2 image), textoverlay (in the sandbox)
+and timeoverlay (in HEAD). These need merging in some way.
+
+My opinion:
+* we should merge the text-on-video function of text-/timeoverlay into one
+that can overlay text on both YUV and RGB frames.
+* we should move the time-to-text-stream function in timeoverlay into a
+separate plugin if we want to.
+* text-on-mpeg2 and mpeg2-subtitle-decoding in mpeg2subt should be
+separated in two plugins. We might want to move the text-on-mpeg2 into the
+"general" textoverlay plugin, but I don't think that's really needed.
+
+Oh, and, of course, the subtitle plugins need to be moved into HEAD, too, then.
