Are AVS normal winamp vis?

[hadees]

Okay I am sorry if this isn't the best place to ask about this but its seems like the best place I have found here and it seems like all the smart Visualization pepole are here. Anyway I have alot of questions but I should first tell you what I am trying to do. I want to take the xmms-winamp (that lets you use winamp vis in xmms) and port it to MythTV(specifically mythmusic).

Okay so my question is are there still just plain old Visualizations for winamp?

Does AVS output them or is it how it seems to me, a diffrent way to have Visualizations in winamp. Right now I can only access the Visualization that are dll files (i think this is the oldway and/or normal way to make viulizations).

Also if you know anywhere that lays out the winamp Visualization api that would be a big help

Thanks
