Which I intend to port to ffmpeg (but somewhat differently, for your
pleasure). My GStreamer-coding style is quite different from ffmpeg (I
use more empty lines, less loops, more case/switch stuff, many different
functions for small things - all aimed at less maintainance, not less
code), so I'm guessing I can bring it down to 1500-2000 lines of code if
I adapt style a bit (comparable to the quicktime reader, for example).
Should be acceptable, no?

Anyway, I heard Xine is also developping all this, so I'm interested in
how they do this.
