You could do something similar using mplayer, which would allow you to 
target both windows and linux (and mplayer has lots and lots of command 
line options available).

If you want to write your own mediaplayer then using the ruby/gstreamer 
bindings is probably the easiest way, although that would be linux 
specific.
