so the UI doesn't hang because webkit is single threaded, so you just
fork()/exec() a binary
and communicate via a named pipe?

in any case, like chrome, which uses some sort of shared bitmap for a
media player
the player could create and image and share it via nameimage(), then the decoder
program would just call namedimage() to get that one and draw to it...
hell it could draw directly to the display with image id 0 if you want
it, so really

for the im client a pipe is more than enough
