I see.  Is there any way to speed up the software part?  I.e., can the
conversion be done in-place, so that the Y component need not be
written?  (On a second thought, that shouldn't bring much, because all
components will be fetched to the processor caches anyway.)

When I used deinterlacing and the software-intensive pixel format (YUV2?)
with VGA output, the sound played smoothly, but video frames were dropped
every now and then.  With -vo:mgatv and obviously without deinterlacing,
I also get dropped _audio_ frames, which is really annoying.
