The GdkPixbufAnimation API is really *not* designed to be used for
video. It's basically a crude mechanism to cope with abominations such
as animated GIFs. [1]
If you want video-in-a-widget, write a GstVideoWidget that you can use
as a sink for video streams. I don't know the GStreamer API or even the
right names for the concepts it uses, but you get the idea.
[1] This is not a "GIFs are evil" issue; it is just that GdkPixbuf is
designed for static images, and animations are rather an afterthought.
