doc-rst: Remove the media docbook
Now that all media documentation was converted to Sphinx, we should get rid of the old DocBook one, as we don't want people to submit patches against the old stuff.

- <title>Video Output Overlay Interface</title>
- <subtitle>Also known as On-Screen Display (OSD)</subtitle>
-
- <para>Some video output devices can overlay a framebuffer image onto
-the outgoing video signal. Applications can set up such an overlay
-using this interface, which borrows structures and ioctls of the <link
-linkend="overlay">Video Overlay</link> interface.</para>
-
- <para>The OSD function is accessible through the same character
-special file as the <link linkend="capture">Video Output</link> function.
-Note the default function of such a <filename>/dev/video</filename> device
-is video capturing or output. The OSD function is only available after
-calling the &VIDIOC-S-FMT; ioctl.</para>

- <para>Devices supporting the <wordasword>Video Output
-Overlay</wordasword> interface set the
-<constant>V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_OUTPUT_OVERLAY</constant> flag in the
-<structfield>capabilities</structfield> field of &v4l2-capability;
-returned by the &VIDIOC-QUERYCAP; ioctl.</para>

- <para>Contrary to the <wordasword>Video Overlay</wordasword>
-interface the framebuffer is normally implemented on the TV card and
-not the graphics card. On Linux it is accessible as a framebuffer
-device (<filename>/dev/fbN</filename>). Given a V4L2 device,
-applications can find the corresponding framebuffer device by calling
-the &VIDIOC-G-FBUF; ioctl. It returns, amongst other information, the
-physical address of the framebuffer in the
-<structfield>base</structfield> field of &v4l2-framebuffer;. The
-framebuffer device ioctl <constant>FBIOGET_FSCREENINFO</constant>
-returns the same address in the <structfield>smem_start</structfield>
-field of struct <structname>fb_fix_screeninfo</structname>. The
-<constant>FBIOGET_FSCREENINFO</constant> ioctl and struct
-<structname>fb_fix_screeninfo</structname> are defined in the
-<filename>linux/fb.h</filename> header file.</para>
-
- <para>The width and height of the framebuffer depends on the
-current video standard. A V4L2 driver may reject attempts to change
-the video standard (or any other ioctl which would imply a framebuffer
-size change) with an &EBUSY; until all applications closed the
-framebuffer device.</para>

- <title>Overlay Window and Scaling</title>
-
- <para>The overlay is controlled by source and target rectangles.
-The source rectangle selects a subsection of the framebuffer image to
-be overlaid, the target rectangle an area in the outgoing video signal
-where the image will appear. Drivers may or may not support scaling,
-and arbitrary sizes and positions of these rectangles. Further drivers
-may support any (or none) of the clipping/blending methods defined for
-the <link linkend="overlay">Video Overlay</link> interface.</para>
-
- <para>A &v4l2-window; defines the size of the source rectangle,
-its position in the framebuffer and the clipping/blending method to be
-used for the overlay. To get the current parameters applications set
-the <structfield>type</structfield> field of a &v4l2-format; to
-<constant>V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_OUTPUT_OVERLAY</constant> and call the
-&VIDIOC-G-FMT; ioctl. The driver fills the
-<structname>v4l2_window</structname> substructure named
-<structfield>win</structfield>. It is not possible to retrieve a
-previously programmed clipping list or bitmap.</para>
-
- <para>To program the source rectangle applications set the
-<structfield>type</structfield> field of a &v4l2-format; to
-<constant>V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_OUTPUT_OVERLAY</constant>, initialize
-the <structfield>win</structfield> substructure and call the
-&VIDIOC-S-FMT; ioctl. The driver adjusts the parameters against
-hardware limits and returns the actual parameters as
-<constant>VIDIOC_G_FMT</constant> does. Like
-<constant>VIDIOC_S_FMT</constant>, the &VIDIOC-TRY-FMT; ioctl can be
-used to learn about driver capabilities without actually changing
-driver state. Unlike <constant>VIDIOC_S_FMT</constant> this also works
-after the overlay has been enabled.</para>
-
- <para>A &v4l2-crop; defines the size and position of the target
-rectangle. The scaling factor of the overlay is implied by the width
-and height given in &v4l2-window; and &v4l2-crop;. The cropping API
-applies to <wordasword>Video Output</wordasword> and <wordasword>Video
-Output Overlay</wordasword> devices in the same way as to
-<wordasword>Video Capture</wordasword> and <wordasword>Video
-Overlay</wordasword> devices, merely reversing the direction of the
-data flow. For more information see <xref linkend="crop" />.</para>

- <title>Enabling Overlay</title>
-
- <para>There is no V4L2 ioctl to enable or disable the overlay,
-however the framebuffer interface of the driver may support the
-<constant>FBIOBLANK</constant> ioctl.</para>
