Support or integration for GLava audio visualizer

[fried-motherboards]

The program known as GLava is an OpenGL audio visualizer that works through monitoring ALSA and Pulse Audio for audio data, and creates a live background window onto the desktop.

GLava is seemingly incompatible with xlivebg and can not create effects on the same window as xlivebg, leading to some flexibility problems when configuring live backgrounds to include an embedded audio visualizer. Is it possible to integrate GLava into the configuration files and/or interfaces available for xlivebg, and/or allow them to render onto the same X window?

I'm not familiar with GLava, but in theory any GL program could be ported to become an xlivebg wallpaper plugin. The effect needs to be separated from the window and OpenGL context creation, and use the xlivebg context instead.

I'm assuming this is a feature request, so I'll mark it as such, but I don't intend to do it myself. If anyone wants to step up and make GLava into an xlivebg wallpaper, let us know.
