SDL_WINDOWID allows you to do this.  It allows you to init the SDL
display using an existing window.

It's a bit hacky, but can kind of work.  mplayer also allows you to
select an existing window to put itself into.

However I think the 'frames over pipe' approach will have less issues
- and probably be more portable.
