Don't know if that's the case but it do looks like it. We can still have a
nice easy to use application which can accomplish a lot of task.
Perhaps this are not what Be had in mind but it fits on a Media OS to have
a Media Center application, now this would probably have to wait until
after R2 and then we don't know where we are but my hopes are that we have
Gobe and are closing Linux when it comes to number of users.

If VLC would have used the Haiku API yes, VLC don't uses the media kit and
our codec’s so to me it can't be a replacement for MediaPlayer even if we
try to remake MediaPlayer as an spotting image of VLC.
But I do believe that a MediaPlayer that big perhaps should be a third
part application.
