Well, yes and no ;) as Elliot pointed out as well, it has of course been 
thought over and discussed, so sorry if I misrepresented that.
What I meant to say was, no  sort of decision or consensus has gronw out 
of any of those thoughts and discussions, so unless an implementation gets 
made and tested, there is not going to be any change in the current 
situation.  

A possible implementation might be having GStreamer as an extra output 
layer, or using MAS (maybe).

First of all it needs to be decided if MAS even is the right solution.  It 
might very well be, but we need to be able to test the code.  I don't know 
if CVS got updated any time recently (last time I tried it still was the 
original cvs'd codebase), and a first release candidate is scheduled for 
january apparently.  But quite some time before agreeing on how it should 
be integrated, we need to agree on whether it should be over esd.

Mike, if you're here, speak up !
