It seems to me that Apple Devs were simply lucky with this one. When LiveCode 
was forced to move to Cocoa, AVFoundation came with, almost for free. We 
develop primarily for Mac/Win and need feature parity on both platforms. I can 
very much appreciate the need to bring Linux up to speed. 

Native playback on all platforms would be fantastic. My guess is that Mac and 
Win are going to be easier due to both OS having the blocks to play with. Linux 
on the other hand, to its benefit and detriment, does not have this for media. 
My last look at all of this left me very uncomfortable with how a solution for 
Linux will come about. MPlayer looked good, but licensing issues seemed to 
plague it. Which media layer can LiveCode rely on for Linux? Will the layer be 
installed by default on all Linux boxes?
