Since your feature request got accepted, this will hopefully find its 
way to SVN soon.

For the meantime, i have built a viewhelper, that converts the object to 
an array. Kind of mix between for and alias viewhelper.

The relation to the dam records is working pretty good with current SVN 
version, though i had to apply the "foreign_table" fix. I created the 
TCA settings manually, but i think the config that you can get from 
txdam_getMediaTCA should also work.

Greets,
