Personal opinion:
I read somewhere on the Cinelerra web site that they were using assembly hacks to improve performance. I think that is a mistake. I think they would be better served to stick with c and make the thing rock solid. They already have the foundation for threading and clustering built in, they should let that take care of the performance issues. Assembly is hard to code right -- especially if you are trying to code for maximum speed.
I wouldn't be surprised that if the project was forked, and the assembly worked out of it, that the fork would pick up stability and loose very little in terms of performance.
