That's not quite the point. I think one should try to separate the
displaying part from the decompression part. I would e.g. like to have a
simple player lib that can be accessed from a special hardware-hitting
program I use to produce video output on my card, as well a a conversion
program to my native video format.

Maybe one has to manually demangle the function parameters ?

Probably, if the callable functions don't use C++-Features, that should
work.

Search on freshmeat for "xmovie". Should send you to the right site.
