Actually, I think displaying multimedia within a character-based display is
the second-wankiest thing people have managed to do with their terminal (
Browsh <https://www.brow.sh/> being the first).

My own prejudices aside, this would be easy to implement in Roff.js if
grotty(1) implements the appropriate device controls. ;-) Also, thanks for
reminding me that I have yet to finish that damn project (or get it to a
point where it's useful for the average *roff user…)
