The memory snapshot issue

[gawady]

I want a memory snapshot from vlc, I found this can be done using mediacontrol_snapshot, so I decided to make a little wrapper for it and thought it would be easy, but I found that there are a lot of dependencies I have to wrap first and the process seamed a little complicated for me, am I missing something or it's really not so easy?

If you want to render to your own buffers, you should the vmem video output. But there is no straightforward to grab a single snapshot.

So, is the mediacontrol_snapshot my only option or there are any other indirect ideas?
