  This would be a good task as well. Basically the difference is a pull
parser grabs a video frame to render, and a push parser render a video
frame when it's available. The pull style requires polling which can
become a performance issue.

  As the developer that added OpenVG support, I'd love to see somebody
pick this up and add more capabilities to it. I'd also like to see GLES2
support, as that's what most mobile devices are using these days, and
even the desktop is going that way. I have GLES2 stubs in a branch you
could use to start with.
