Matt or JimH : do you have any info on what we can use with the (now not) new pipeline to show an actual GASP visualization with TrackInfo playing some music?

It's been over a year now, so is this feature coming back (in some other form) or not?

"Quote from: Matt
I should add a disclaimer that embedding 2D visualizations in Track Info pages is no longer possible.
IE can show COM controls and 2D visualizations used to be a COM control.
Now visualizations are C++ interfaces like all other plugins (except interface plugins). There is no easy way to inject a C++ interface into IE, without making a COM wrapper. Even then, piping the data (since Media Center didn't create the interface directly) is difficult.
Hopefully this won't be too big a deal to anyone."

Sorry, but I don't expect ActiveX embedding of UI into HTML to reappear in Media Center.

Oh well, it's still an awesome product that I will keep supporting.

Has anyone looked at using HTML 5's audio or audio-visualization support?
