Window is an annoying platform 😉

I don’t know if there is any easy way to do what you want.  
One way is to install mplayer and just put up a fancy GUI when  
playing files around this with ruby-gtk/gnome.

Another solution could be to use the gstreamer bindings, or see whether  
gnome allows something like that (I think they do, even without  
gstreamer… but i forgot the name)
