In the opinion of the designers of this API, no driver writer taking
the efforts to support simultaneous capturing and overlay will
restrict this ability by requiring a single file descriptor, as in
It makes more sense to place the xvideo example at the body, keeping the footnote only to justify the design decision. While this makes the text better, it also fixes the PDF output.
