This discussion came up at least once, and I posted a first version of
an output plugin for exporting images in native color format (could be
enhanced to handshake the format) to an external thread. I suggested
using a standardized plugin like this would help for long-term interface
stability (it could be more stable than the xine API), but the
discussion ceased quickly.

I'll attach the plugin here once more. But remember this is unpolished
code, and I do not remember its state (I think it isn't finished yet).
Sorry that I don't have enough time ATM to look into the other suggested
plugins.
