I did the GStreamer plugin for Etoys ala OLPC
Ah right!
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.
Just curious as I don't have time now to look deeply on that: Is it available as an external package one can load in a Pharo image? Does it requiere VM magics? Hilaire
