I like the idea of combining album art with visualizations

You'd probably be interested to know about the OpenVP extension, which
is part of the Banshee Community Extensions. It adds several
visualizations that are displayed in "Now Playing", and provides a
framework to make adding new visualizations relatively easy.

You can find the code here :
