The issue here is that people are trying to use it as an emulator, and _it is not_. There's only one "Maemo emulator" that I know of and it is based on QEMU and N800/N810 board support. So unless you have any interest to debug gstreamer or MAFW components I don't know why you wouldn't want to use the media player. SPECIALLY refrain to use the SDK to check codec support since the device is using DSP codecs and whatever results you get from the SDK will be _INVALID_.
