  It'll be more than a little bit of time... The BBC iPlayer requires 
RTMP support. I have RTMP support in an experimental branch, but it's 
not going to be in this next release due to not bring quite ready for 
prime time...

  I'll gladly work with anyone who would like to take on this task from 
my branch and beat it into shape. Unfortunately the few people that have 
considered plugging into this effort realized there is a steep learning 
curve with both RTMP and Gnash. If you're willing to put weeks or longer 
into this, let me know, I'd love to hand this off to somebody while I 
continue hacking on Cygnal. (the server side of RTMP)
