Inferno hosted video

Inferno hosted video drivers for Linux. I started looking at this in the context of OLPC, but it seems like you might be able to do a hosted gstreamer driver for Inferno and suppot anything gstreamer does. Although perhaps a lower level of support (direct Video4Linux) should be considered.

I'm thinking mainly here of supporting web cams but I suppose extensions could support playback/etc.
