Actually, speaking of libquicktime: there's a nice little project (i think) for 
someone who wants to get involved with our KDE Project:

libquicktime comes with a nice qtplayer -- a simple X Application, which can 
play QuickTime(TM) movies.

libquicktime decodes both audio and video frames. By default, the libquicktime 
player provides audio transport bindings for ALSA and OSS only.

It would be very nice if we could write an OpenAL libquicktime binding. The 
reason i'm suggesting OpenAL is: OpenAL supports native Solaris audio 
(/dev/audio), and it is fairly easy to use. And there won't be any license 
conflicts between OpenAL and libquicktime.

Both libquicktime and OpenAL work fine on Solaris with Studio 12. However, if 
you don't have OSS installed, there's no audio playback when you use the 
quicktime player.

If anyone is interested, please speak up. I can checkin OpenAL and libquicktime 
  at CVSDude, and we can take it from there. I am quite certain that the OpenAL 
bindings for libquicktime will be accepted upstream.
