Cool.  I'll give that at try later today.

It is not a question of performace but of features.

The overlay supports 8 formats and 22 attributes (more on hw which has a
tuner) whereas the textured video supports 4 formats and only a single
attribute.

Given the tables in radeon_textured_video.c, I'd say r300 is the minimum
prefered hw for textured video support and r200 is the minimum useful hw.
