Very cool.  I've applied most of your patch to CVS.

It did indeed break execution on Linux machines -- you didn't change any of 
the video output classes over to the WId stuff, so the class functions 
weren't getting called.  I fixed this when I applied things, though.

You can't have it export that symbol to the libs?  I'd like to keep things the 
way they are in this respect, unless really necessary..

You're missing the other AddSamples function, I noticed, which means it won't 
play back mp3-using software encodes.

In addition to the gContext change, I left out the vsync parts of NVP.cpp -- I 
would really prefer that those were wrapped into vsync.cpp, so that there's 
no logic duplication in NVP.
