We're working on an HTML5-compatible media playback API.

There's an initial cut at the API  at
http://wiki.openlaszlo.org/HTML5_Multimedia_API#API

The preliminary implementation is for the DHTML runtime, using the jPlayer
plugin, which uses native <video> or <audio>
support if it exists in the browser, and falls back to an embedded Flash
player if not.

A compatible implementation for the Laszlo swf10 runtime can be built using
a wrapper for the existing video view, but the first priority is
to get something working in the DHTML runtime.

If you have any feedback or suggestions, please send a reply. There's an
initial test case in trunk in test/html5/appj.lzx, pointing to
a preliminary implementation in lps/components/av/html5/jplayerview.lzx.
This supports the video view, with support for an audio view
to follow.
