Does SoundPlay even play streaming media?
Either way we will indeed need support for streaming in the Media Kit,
even just for HTML5 audio and video. Plus I personally like internet
radio quite a bit.
Anyhow, you do make a good point that MediaPlayer is a fine music
player. Probably my main motivation for wanting to keep SoundPlay
going is a bit of BeOS nostalgia, which maybe we already have enough
of that in other applications which have already been open sourced.
