They claim they "support libvisual". In reality they're not very well
integrated, never rendering into libvisual's buffers (instead rendering to their
own glcontext).

In 0.9 you could make a subclass of GstBuffer for GL contexts. Then you could
have a glsink as your output, and have the buffer_alloc return GL contexts or
something. Dunno. It also appears that you can dump out a GL context into
pixels, meaning we could hook this thing up to output normal video frames for
rendering to normal video sinks.

The code does not make me happy either. Their tarball has CVS dirs and backup
files. Also, it seems they don't use a public CVS. Their SF CVS is worthless,
not updated. So it's a tarball-only thing.

Totally agree that goom blows nuts and that we deserve better. However relying
on projects that don't maintain themselves well is not a plan.

Conclusion: Better to push patches upstream to get them to render into
libvisual's buffers and to use the existing libvisual gstreamer plugins (and
start deprecating goom).
