Suggestion: Tv-output that "Just Works" tm

[Mattias Eriksson]

Hi,

Yesterday totem (cvs) got some patches to enable libnvtvsimple in the
gstreamer backend (the xine backend have had those patches for quite a
while). This makes it possible to provide easy to use tv output. Just
change a setting in totem and go to fullscreen, and the image will be
displayed on both the screen and the TV. As ubuntu is focusing on
providing a nice user experience it might be worth looking into this
feature. 

What would be required to provide this feature:
1. Package libnvtvsimple (you can get it at the same place as nvtv).
2. Build totem with this support, it will do no harm for users without
tvout hardware. 
3. Possible install nvtv as default for users with hardware that is
supported by nvtv. 


Just a suggestion...
