  I'm actually strongly debating using ffmpeg instead... We tried 
Gstreamer because it has a supposedly legit (with weird conditions) MP3 
implementation, but as ffmpeg support FLV and VP5, it's potentially 
better for us. There is an ffmpeg module for Gstreamer too. I don't 
really have any knowledge of using ffmpeg, so maybe this wouldn't work, 
but I'm getting really tired of all the gripes about sound not working. 
the best solution to this is to just make it work...

  That and/or Cairo, whichever  is fully working first. :-) With Cairo, 
it can use openGL as a backend, so we'd still have that level of 
hardware acceleration if want it.
