Something like this would be out of the scope for R1, but luckily, it 
already exists in BeOS and Haiku :-)
The Translation Kit handles various file types in an independent way 
(unfortunately, it lacks heavily in the document area, image support is 
very good, though), and the Media Kit makes sure that all apps (that 
use it) support the same set of media encoders and decoders for audio 
and video.
