I ment gnonlin, my fault. Please check their seeking code nevertheless.

that's what I ment. It seems to be 0.5 stable, which is already a little 
bit outdated... :)
(Doesn't include swscaler changes I got submited recently, e.g. ...)

Carefull! The problem lies within libswscaler. So: GST will work 
*perfectly* with Big Endian. But that doesn't mean, that your color 
conversion will work, too...

That can probably be fixed by carefull coding afterwards.

Maybe a better idea is, to get my new plugin system up and running.
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Requests/Plugin-System

After that, you can just write input plugins, that are dynamically loaded 
into blender (and can be controlled within a seperate source tree).

So there could be an input plugin, that uses ffmpeg directly, one that 
uses gstreamer, etc.

Cheers,
Peter
