It MIGHT be possible to make my C interface a winlib by using the functions as it (ie in assembly) and just relinking the lib. Is this even remotely practical and will it help matters at all?
It should be practical, but I'm afraid it doesn't help matters much. There is little difference between a PE executable (a native Windows binary) and a Winelib app.
Just to be sure. A normal Linux application CAN NOT load a winlib shared library. Correct?
In general, yes, that is correct.
Also, how is the calling of Windows codec done in mplayer, xine, and the like? Could something like that be done. Avisynth has so GUI.
I don't know, the mplayer guys just copied over some code from Wine, and integrated it into their code with some modifications.
