I don't have snow leper installed, but I've read the ars technica
review.
Basically there's two things going on. most more advanced quicktime
features are actually not yet implemented in the new Quicktime Toolkit
(QTKit). So for those features, 10.6 always falls back to the QT 7
APIs. Meanwhile there is also a new QT player, dubbed QT X. it also
lacks several features that the QT 7 player did have.
The API's are all installed by default (and they need to be, as for
example, QT X can't even crop stuff), and those features remain
accessible for all applications that do use QT, for example rev.
However, the QT player is not, and you need to manually do that by
choosing the Quicktime 7 check mark in the installer.

I am currently reading this very good review, and it does indicate that
the APIs are still there.
While I previously said that it is beyond runrev's reach to build a
multimedia framework by itself, it is quite capable, IMHO, to create a
player object with the same functionalities as before and running
within SL.
Actually, it is probable that the runrev player still works fine (I
have not tested it myself, as I am part of the cowards who never
install the first release of an OS), since the APIs seemingly are still
here.
cheers
