It might be worth checking out the various multimedia frameworks in 
development and see if it is easier to plug a codec into one of them, rather 
than writing the entire cutter from scratch. I have been looking at gstreamer 
a bit recently, but haven't had time to figure out if it's the kind of thing 
that we need or not.

gstreamer.sourceforge.net

As far at the user interface is concerned, I have now got enough working to be 
able to drag files to and from the project list. So for instance, you can add 
an mp3 to the project list, then drag it to xmms and it will be added to the 
playlist. You can also drag multiple files from konqueror onto the project 
list and it will add them.

I am now starting work on redesigning the timeline widget so that it is 
reusable, and in the process clip support for dragging stuff to and from the 
project list will be added.

Cheers,
Jason.
