Ok, but I think from the driver's point of view this is actually two 
completely separate inputs. Yeah, you can capture both at the same time, 
and one signal might be key, other might be fill, but as far as I know the 
driver will not merge these two signals behind the scenes to one single 
input with an alpha channel.
