Noone is saying that you can't do this with C++.  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.

Cheers,
