	It's certainly possible, but not documented in the plugin-writing code
on the rhythmbox-wiki. Here are some not so current screenshots of
actual working code...

	Right now sparkle is on hold, because I'm busy with higher-prio tasks.
But I will return to working on sparkle in the next few days. At some
point I will update the rhythmbox-wiki with information gathered writing
sparkle (likely to happen after I've finished the plugin) so others will
not have to go through the same pain I had :)

	Regarding clutter, it could be done using it - clutter is getting
better all the time - but there are still some bits missing
(multitexture-support/"texture-compositing", camera-object/paths), which
I absolutely want to use in sparkle. Therefore I will stick to pure
OpenGL for the time being.

	But I can imagine I'll port a future revision of sparkle to using
clutter. There are a few features I'd like to add to clutter, but that's
scheduled for after sparkle... and if I find the time to work on those. 

Best regards...
