Yes, I am working on that. I essentially reworked the whole thing to
outsource colorspace conversion to libmedia where it is now being done
by either mplayer or gstreamer, whichever is avaible. The interface is
media library-neutral. I also built in automatic detection & usage of Xv
support if is available and enabled in a .gnashrc setting, where Gnash
will try to use it and fall back on regular Xlib rendering if it isn't.
I reworked the code to be a separate GUI to preserve sanity.

Anyway, the whole thing basically works now aside from a snag in the Gst
code that I just discovered and a X error in the Xv Gui that pops up
"occasionally" and only during asynchronous X operations. Nevertheless I
am busy now merging the code in such a way that it won't affect
anything else unless we decide to "flick the switch" given that we're
about to push a release out.
