  MPlayer is a Movie and not a Media player

Fair enough.
I'm aiding a friend on a project to turn audio CD's into Karaoke CD's with
an external lyrics file, to be fetched a-la CDDB
This is suspicously like Mplayer subtitles...

Our idea was to extend to use flash-type libraries for showing
movie-backgrounds as well as lyics.
such as:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/freemovie/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libswf/

We would be producing a library which if given external time ticks would
render the flash/lyrics in a given window.

So it basically adds a multimedia (or er.. "film") to audio CD's (or mp3s I
guess)
Would use of this be within the scope of Mplayer, or would you rather it was
put elsewhere (not XMMS please).
