After a talk with zou about MovieAdvancement issues [http://wiki.gnashdev.org/MovieAdvancement] we decided to try the heart-beating way.
Basically, movie_root::advance() won't assume to be called on SWF FPS rate anymore, but instead would check the VirtualClock to decide wheter or not to advance the movie, but will take a chance to run expired timers. Beside behavioural correctness for user-defined timers, this will also fix a few issues on dynamically loaded media rate, as we won't need that to be bound to SWF frame rate anymore. Also, it opens the doors to thread-less loading of resources since I committed a non-blocking interface of IOChannel. Keeping the ::advance() signature and the single entry point drops the need to touch every gui. The only change required will be in Player, where a default initial rate of 10ms delay will be used. Later we can fine-tune timers to eventually optimize time spent on checking what's left to do.
