Definitely! If anyone would like to help with this please get in contact
with me so I can help explain how I've implemented certain things so far,
about locking, etc. The main things that are left to do to play 90% of media
files out there are implementing the filter graph manager, the reference
clock and the audio and video renderers (I have a hacky version of the video
renderer in my local tree but it is not ready for submitting as a patch).
Anyone that likes COM and graph algorithms should love the filter manager!

That must not be using the code in the Wine tree as it won't play any movies
at the moment :(
