Hi,
	I was just wondering about this media architecture you a working on. 
Is it a public project?  Are you working under linux or another
platform?
	I've been following the gstreamer project
(http://gstreamer.sourceforge.net) which is another media architecture
in the works for Linux.   You may be intrested in seeing what they have
done so far, to see if maybe this is the same kind of project.  If it is
I'm sure they wouldn't mind the extra help, if you wanted to work with
them.
