  The sound playing support exists, but is seriously untested. My 
previous work on GameSWF used a high quality MP3 player that was 
external, plus it kept screwing up XMMS when I was playing music. :-) As 
a plugin, I'd think Gnash would use the mplayer plugin to actually play 
the data stream, although playing music as a plugin without needing any 
other plugins is probably a better idea now that you mention it.

  It shouldn't be much work to cleanup the SDL and MP3 player support, 
but to be honest, getting the plugin working playing movies is the 
current priority. That and cleaning up configure/build bugs and 
portability issues. Anyway, patches are always greatly appreciated! :-)
