Nope !... Media URLs pointing to *.mp3/4g *.avi *.wav *.you_name_it_media_type
*still* use the QuickTime (for Mac and Windows) or gstreamer (for Linux)
plugin...

There is confusion in many people mind's about media streams embedded
inside a web page (which indeed are played via CEF now, provided the
web page is using HTML5 or a proper CEF plugin exists for the embedded
media stream) and raw media file URLs: the latter are *not* played via
CEF. Just look at the code in llviewermedia.cpp...
