Why don't you just use such a graphics card then? Of course you'll need a plugin that implements a proper cDevice for it, but that has nothing to do with VDR itself... I'll probably move cDvbDevice into a separate plugin in the process of switching to S2API, but that won't by any means mean that VDR "moves away from FF cards". You can already use any output device you like, provided there's a plugin for it.
