It's entirely up to you. Nothing specific to xvmc really, just causes myth to 
use a non-solid mask for the video overlay window so the osd can be painted 
onto the underlying x window rather than using the drivers subpicture 
overlay.

I dislike the solution, Isaac thinks its the better option. Such is life.
