Thanks, yes, I had noted that link briefly, but my eyes quickly glazed 
over :)

Actually, writing a Python application to play a video is easily done in 
10 lines or less of code, so I am not sure what that tutorial is all 
about, except perhaps for providing a better GUI interface, etc..  In my 
case, I merely want to extend some minimal gstreamer code into a 
'pygame' context.  I think I will post my request in the 'pygame-users' 
mailing list too, just in case.
