[MPlayer-dev-eng] updated TODO for prerelease - rt encoder ideas

not really
the realtime encoders are started with very different parameters.
and the interface of ve_ and vf_ differs, ve_ will callback to mencoder's
muxer, and not even compiled for mplayer. vf_ will query and 'handshake'
colorspace with next driver (vo) and config it so.

i'm sure it would be much mroe code and more mess than having 2 separated
drivers.

maybe using teh same code as template, with #ifdefs, and include it from ve_
and vf_ version...
