SMIL is plain text so it can be generated in Rev, output as a file to  
a temp directory and loaded into a player object.  Here is a sample  
that displays images on after the other, but like I said before, I'm  
not sure if you will get a seamless loop or not for audio.

SMILtext <smil xmlns:qt="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/ 
smilextensions" qt:time-slider="true">
<head>
<layout>
<root-layout id="rootlayout" width="1280" height="960" />
<region id="image" width="1280" height="960" />
</layout>
</head>
<body>
<seq>

</smil>
