  Our RTMP implementation is already in cvs. :-) See gnash/libamf.

  I have an RTMP in Curl implementation I wrote, but moved all the code 
to libamf so I could use RMTP on the server side of things for Cygnal. 
Curl is only a client side library. At one point I could use curl to 
download FLV videos.

  Any multimedia package has many dependencies, and often the packages 
Gnash depends on have other dependencies. But anyway, "too many 
dependencies" is sort of like saying "I just don't like your software"...

  Yes, since it's part of Gnash, it's GPLv3.
