Not really, you kinda need to render to full frame (at least logically
so), because subtitles are to be positioned precisely. If we were to
render only "necessary" parts, it will make correct positioning
impossible. As I refuse to pass positioning info via caps, it pretty
much reduces to either RLE or what Jan proposed -- equivalent of X
damage regions. I favor the latter, having RLE decoder inside imagemixer
feels wrong :)

Cheers,
Maciej
