I don't know gavl, but it if it is close to as good as vlc/mplayer/ 
ffmpeg for reading codecs, it would be an improvement over Quicktime.   
gavl is already in macports so making a fink package should be easy,  
then it could be part of the nightly builds.

What about using ffmpeg for something like readanysf~?  Its much more  
widely deployed, its even on Windows.

Another option is to check in a version of gavl and the related  
packages to the pure-data SVN and have it build the library then build  
readanysf~.  Since gavl/gmerlin is not fully packaged on any platform,  
I think this makes sense.

the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself
