Gnash saves the whole content to a temporary file, so it could, when
it figures it's an AVM2 one, rewind it and send to lightspark stdin.

I guess the question is "what" to communicate in those cases.
If there's no communication between the two VM (which I think
I've heard it is supposed to hold true) we could see a v7 running
into a v10 as two completely separated videos one within another.
In that case all we'd need would be a way to feed the players
and fetch audio and video out of them.
Gnash isn't ready for that atm.
