Would like to see this run side-by-side geekmasters code now to see if the device can handle it

That looks like a fun little project. I often find that interleaving the code into one loop uses less CPU that trying to multiprocess it as two apps, or other coprocessing methods that rely on two simultaneous loops.
I like the coroutines method by Simon Tatham (the PuTTY guy), which allows logically interleaving control flow while maintaining visual separation:

We could use that to interleave the video and audio code inside one control loop.
Simon Tatham also has a nice collection of simple Java games that might make nice kindlets:

Anyway, I am looking forward to adding some some code to gmplay, to play gmv video files that contain interleaved audio and video (using your code above). Thanks. Just need to get caught up at work a bit first before I take some "educational play time".
