Yes. But an alternative that suits my needs. Since what I need is a
development platform, and using xbmc proved to be a little harder
than I thought on beagleboard (the video overlay stays on top of other
widgets in the gsoc-2010-beagleboard branch) and the codec problem
(which seems to be resolved, which is very cool). I chose DirectFB
with gstreamer dfbvideosink. At least I'll test if this configuration
works as I expect.
