But after numerous questions, several mails and IRL contact at tradeshows and conference, I still don't know if I can access the audio output (Pulse) and the video output (either Xv or an OpenGL context).
Their developer website is about HTML5, QML and HTML5 Platform access. If you look closely, you get libcanberra or gstreamer options... But I need lower access... How do I do that?

But your experience conforts me, I'll work on it soon :)
Then, Android is quite much more far from a Linux desktop stack than an Ubuntu phone. It notably has a different (very broken) libc, pthread implementation and different audio output stack...
Porting and shipping all features in the default build are 2 very different things...
Very little features not possible (mostly because of the OS) can hardly be considered as "not fully ported" as meant by salient.

Not sure if anything is planned to be implemented to actually launch commands, but some people have already found a way to do it using C++ plugins [1].
The last thing to check would be if vlc is able to use the hardware :)

So, if we cannot access (or are forbidden access to) alsa/pulse, OpenGL or OMX, in the final device, this would be just useless work...
