libvidc currently not yet provides keyboard and mouse events, but this is on 
the TODO list. ATM I redesign the intern calling process for a easier way of 
adding new display types like X-windows.
X-windows support is planed for the future for libvidc (beside some other 
features).
The latest addition is support for ATAPI CD-Audio calls.
