Yes, this position is completely independent from the OSD. I can
position and scale the MPEG output anywhere I like in the
720x576 'canvas' (for lack of a better word). It has nothing to do with
the OSD. The OSD has its own positioning, but that is handled through
the framebuffer device driver.
This positioning is specific to output devices, at least, I can't think
of a practical use for input devices.
