We're saying that nobody *has* done this with C++. If you feel so compelled as to do so, I'll talk to you in 2+ years when your implementation is starting to mature. Yes, we're all C++ programmers here, but one of the huge advantages of C++ is that it *does* allow code reuse from C libraries and frameworks. In fact that's why it's *C*++. We could redo everything that has been done and working, or we could sacrifice a bit to the language gods and just wrap a C API. Wait, that's already been done. ;-) /me points in the general direction of GStreamer and Tim.
