Windows support is kind of klugdy, though.. at least last time I tried (~2
months ago).

Yes, we can have gstreamer as "metadata" module for gPodder - as you said, it
would be helpful if we could place this in a separate module (and we have to
find a replacement for it on Windows).

For playing audio and video, we already have Panucci, although it's not really
ported to Desktop Linux yet. We can use Panucci as player (still needs video
support, though), and we can then tightly integrate it with gPodder without
having to "drag in" all the player code into the gPodder code base. I still
want to keep it as simple as possible and allow users to choose their preferred
media player.
