Yes. There are significant restrictions on what the new player
control can do with the MCI API (due in turn to limitations in what
the VfW (Video for Windows) player can do). But if all you want to do
is play/pause/stop like you could with 2.2, you're covered even if the
system doesn't have QT installed.
