This stuff is pretty much history.  Today, flash videos are usually h.264.

Pepper API is the plugin API from Chrome.

I'm not yet sure if I want multi-window rendering at all.  The primary 
purpose of MINOS2 is net2o, and you don't want all these pop-ups, pop-unders 
and other multi-window stuff.  Since I need one window with rendering and 
event detection, supporting multi-window is not a problem, but I need the 
infrastructure to make an application work fine with a single host window 
(and this of course means "do everything yourself").  I'm not much convinced 
about multi-window programs; most users don't like them.

This stuff is going to run in a sandbox which has very limited access to the 
outside world.  You can fill OpenGL render buffers, you can create textures, 
you can receive mouse, touch and key events.  Opening a host window (other 
than the one you already got) is completely out of question.
