Anyone is *free* to write his very own aRts playobject for whatever 
proprietary codecs and formats he likes.  Part of what makes aRts so nice, 
is that it's that modular.  Just don't hold your breath waiting for the 
existing aRts developers to do it. :-)

Now, if anyone is interested in working on any video playobjects (even 
ones based on mplayer, xanim, or real), please let me know so video 
efforts can be coordinated.  We already have someone working on a libmpeg3 
plugin, and if video is to begin to work well in the media players, the 
video interfaces have to be uniform.

Excellent.  (No, not the plugin.  Well, I wouldn't mind if you're enjoying 
that plugin, but that's not what I meant :-)
