Oh sorry, I misread your email.

Then I think the best solution is to call a script regularly, which will
generate the wallpaper picture (using mplayer or whatever), and set
nautilus' wallpaper's path to this newly generated wallpaper using
gconftool (gconftool -t string
-s /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename PATH_TO_YOUR_WALLPAPER).
I'm pretty sure I've read emails explaining how to do it on one the
gnome mailing lists...
