Add Option "DepthBits".
This allows getting higher depth buffer precision and stencil hardware acceleration in depth 16 or saving some video RAM at the cost of these features in depth 24.

+Precision in bits per pixel of the shared depth buffer used for 3D acceleration.
+Valid values are 16 and 24. When this is 24, there will also be a hardware
+accelerated stencil buffer, but the combined depth/stencil buffer will take up

Try or don't try to use DMA for Xv image transfers. This will reduce CPU
usage when playing big videos like DVDs, but may cause instabilities.
