I don't know the details, but I'm not sure video streams are somehow inherently different from audio to require different treatment at that level.

The difference is that processing audio is easy, but video is tremendously harder to process than audio, as you have to process millions (sometimes billions) of samples per second when compared to just thousands in audio.

Of course the volume of data is much larger, but what difference would it make if it used a separate thread?

If video processing slows down for some reason, it wouldn't cause audio stutter.

I wish the panel location was configurable so you could have it on the bottom instead of the top.
Also that you could minimize applications to the panel.

Yeah, I've seen it, but afaik it does not work. Not sure though, I haven't played with Weston in a long time.
