As far as I'm concerned, the mediaplayer isn't that closed. The open source mafw plugins are doing most of the work. I've posted this elsewhere, but here seems appropriate also.

At the moment, it's about 20 lines of code to throw this front end on the very ugly mafw-test-gui. This community could replicate and move way beyond the mediaplayer in a month. That would include stuff like Pandora and mpd support. And I'm probably being conservative. It might be a good time to consolidate.



I'll post a diff file over the next few days if anyone wants to play around. It's a working audio player. Videos are sound only at the moment; Nokia didn't bother to send the video to the screen, but that's generally a simple fix when using gstreamer.
