I'm not going to stop complaining until it's implemented, and I'de do it
myself, but I'll certainly break something :)

So here is a bit from our own #kde

[14:05:14] <stw> njord: about video stuff, I am not really sure how I could help you. \
arts will not need to know if there is an X11VideoFooBarZong interface which mpeglib \
and noatun will know about [14:06:04] <stw> njord: basically, only mpeglib and noatun \
will need to know about it, so you can hack it in noatun yourself, and either do it \
for mpeglib, too, or try to convince martin to do it (or somebody else) [14:06:23] \
<Njord> stw: how about I pass mpeglib the Window ID of  where to paint to. how can I \
do this? [14:07:11] <stw> njord: first of all, make an IDL interface which you want \
to use to tell mpeglib things (similar to the PlayObject interface) [14:07:26] <stw> \
njord: like interface X11Embed { void setWindowID(long id); } [14:07:44] <Njord> ok..
[14:07:48] <stw> njord: then, the mpeglib codec needs to implement this besides \
Arts::PlayObject [14:08:06] <Njord> multiple inheritence?
[14:08:24] <Njord> ok, and how do I know if it's a video that I'm about to play
[14:08:25] <Njord> ?
[14:08:29] <stw> njord: finally, you can do X11Embed e = \
Arts::DynamicCast(aPlayObject); to see if aPlayObject supports it, if it doesn't \
e.isNull will be true [14:08:39] <Njord> oh.. I see
[14:08:52] <Njord> rtti- the aRts way ;)
[14:09:03] <stw> njord: otherwise, happily use e.setWindowID(4) or something like \
this ;)

Since I've proven that reparenting the window doesn't work, we're stuck with
passing the ID of a window to paint to.  Now, this isn't too hard at all, but
the mpeglib codebase is huge, and I can not find anything.

So, whoever volunteers, I don't want to mention names, Martin, but this one
certain person could probably manage to do this in about 15 minutes, assuming
that he knows anything about his own code base!
