Gnome IS about reinventing the wheel (in a better way, obviously).
My plan is in fact to use xanim and others to view files supported by these
apps. Xanim implements a very useful "remote control" feature that I plan to
use. For other types of players (.mod, .wav and .mid), I will choose the
best tradeoff: whether to integrate them in gmedia's source and invoking
external helpers. Gmedia is currently not open to this structure, but I plan
to modularize it so that new types can be added (and .mailcap can be used as
fallback).
