int *callback() wants a function as an argument.  You pass it a function
that you made and it will execute it I believe once per frame (don't
hold me to that number, tho).  This is useful for getting sound in-sync
with the flic, doing other processing while the flic is playing
(although it will slow it down), and anything else that you can think
of.
