None at all. You did not read me carefully at all. My attachment is to the
OpenGL device.

I am rather surprised. IIRC, Reimar was active on the list at the time it
was implemented, I think he would have spotted problems like that. Can you
elaborate?

That defeats the purpose of libavdevice.

I think the OpenGL device can be used without SDL, please read carefully.
OpenGL uses a global state, not a context parameter passed to each function.
That means that part of an application can create and init the OpenGL
context and other parts of the application can draw on it without any
explicit communication between them. That is exactly what is meant for the
device in lavd: the application creates and inits the context, then lavd
generates OpenGL commands which are executed on the context. SDL is only
used in this device as a convenience for simpler applications.
