If you're using XvMC acceleration then PIP is not implemented. The 
experimental colour OSD hack also implements a rough PIP implementation 
but it uses the software nuvplayer so its not fast enough to actually 
use on an M9000.

The CLE266 chipset has enough grunt to actually decode multiple MPEG 
streams simultaneously so a nice solution would be to use that to do the 
rendering. Although not trivial to do of course.

Cheers,
