I did the GStreamer plugin for Etoys ala OLPC The problem is you can't install the GStreamer software on a mac in a user friendly manner. Having to drop to the terminal session, install MacPorts by doing sudo ports install gstreamer just won't cut it. Reusing the audio/video framework we did for Sophie would be a far better thing. It has a set of abstract classes to deal with audio, video, audio/video. Concrete classes then provide the ability to play media from a set point, with controls to play/stop/rewind. Audio uses the Squeak sound system and various decoders, video would work it's way thru quicktime, mpegplayer, oggplayer. You just fed it a URL, and cmds, like play...

I remember about the development of a Gstreamer plugin in 2008. Don't know its status now.
