i don't think we use any of these parts (we really use the basic codec stuff).

even more awesome is the fact that if you don't have X, ffmpeg will try
to use aalib to render the output... which at videoconf resolutions
is not _that_ unreasonable...

BTW what's the status of your effort on chan_console so
we can possibly avoid duplicating the functionality in alsa/oss ?
