Sure, but need to find a replacement.. Last time GST was attempted it
was not being bended into the sound_handler design, but taking its own
path instead (IIRC). Would be nice to see a GST implementaion once the
desing settles, and of course would be best to have someone think about
it *while* the design settles, so we can change whatever is needed to
make the bending easier.

Yes!
Beside, this is already possible with MediaHandler, if anyone wants
to try it.
