Yesterday I spent a couple of hours with Dinesh trying getting this
working. There were a couple of build issues we had to iron out first.
When I got it to build, I was running into another issue: The VSXu
applet was just showing a black square on my box, no matter what was
playing. We could not figure out what's wrong yet (could be an issue
with my Intel driver, or something else).

If any of you folks want to try it too, that would be great, so we can
see if the problem is reproducible elsewhere. If you have any build
issues we can help.
