<snip a lot about video support and such>

  Just to clear things up here a bit, the video support which will be included 
in Amarok is very simple and will (unlike most people's impression) add 
exactly zero overhead. The reason for this is that the engines already 
basically handle the video streams (except for the decoding and showing of 
them), and the way the actual visual will be presented to the user is just 
like that: As a visual. If you have the visualiser shown, then if Amarok 
detects a video stream in the file, the visualisation will be replaced with 
that video stream.
  Think of it this way: Amarok is a music player. If your music files have a 
video stream, then it can be argued that this video stream is a visualisation 
of the sound, and as such should supercede the generated visual.
