ffmpeg-support in Gem is currently considered unstable (mainly due to 
the ever changing API of ffmpeg; i know that this is usually handled by 
including a specific ffmpeg snapshot in the sources, but i still don't 
want to do that)

apart from that, i have somewhere on my harddisk a [pix_ffplay] which 
should work (but does not yet), and of course there is [pdp_ffplay] :-)
