I am sure the same technique for syncing and controlling it would work. 
We'd just need a video player. There appears to be a thing called "Java 
Media Framework" which addresses this, and could probably just replace 
the rather simple thread already there (at a brief glance it looks like 
the interface is not too dissimilar). It may require users to install an 
additional Java component, though I'm not sure.

So the answer is yes in principle, but don't expect it tomorrow.
