[opensource-dev] Replacement for QuickTime media plugin - a straw man proposal

[Geir Nøklebye]

Use the capabilities of the native operating systems.

There is no reason at all why for OS X you should not use the system frameworks for media and audio. They are battle tested on virtually over a billion devices daily. They are also licensed to use for anyone with an Apple Developer ID. 

Equivalent is probably the case for Windows, while for Linux there landscape is much more complex.
