There are some plugins that run with xmms and enable Qucktime movie
files - Qt-XMMS and avi-xmms
smpeg-xmms that enable to play other video files. I think it is
theoreticly possible to play xmms with jack support playing these files
at the same time with ardour, but xmms is not capable to sync with
anything unless it could be started together with ardour by using rtmix.
Rtmix can controll any application that can be controlled under console
and it could also controll xmms, but with some limitations. I think also
that there should be also a program that can start/stop jack-transport
under console and it that case start ardour, but I haven't checked it
yet. So if everything works what I have just described, You can have
ardour and movie player playing together.
Let me know if this works. I'm using now cinelerra but it would be very
interesting to sync these programs, because then it would be also
possible to work with midi synced (muse or rosegarden) and video.
If somebody could write some rtmix native scripts to controll xmms and
jack transport it would be much easier.
Thanks
Piotr
