I can see the advantages of moving the display list into the message domain.
If that part of GEM is being redesigned then I wonder if we can discuss the
possibility of having GEM rendering in a separate thread.  If audio is ever
going to run at low latency on a machine doing lots of video then we need to
solve this problem, don't we?

I'll try to have a look at the state of CVS when I get a chance.

I also have a number of GEM objects for windows some of which improve the
stability and flexibility of video and file input (rewritten pix_film,
pix_video using VideoForWindows and new versions using DirectShow which
allow use of DV footage and live DV camera input)... I've been meaning to
package and document these and upload to CVS so if there's going to be
another GEM release soon then that should provide motivation for me to
finally do this.
