mpeg on both sides

Hi Jeff,

Yes, i did and it worked fine.

Tested with WAV, MPG, AIF, AU and MP3 :-)

As i remember right, the "WindowsMediaPlayer" has to be >= Version 6.4.
At least for MP3 support, not sure about mpg...

You have to set "the dontuseqt" to true before you can do that.
Preferably on "preopenstack". Must be BEFORE QT loads, you
cannot switch once you used QT...


I check the "qtversion" if it > 5 like:

on preopenstack
    if char 1 of the qtversion < 5 then set the dontuseqt to true
   ...
end preopenstack


Remember that you have no (build-in) controller without QT.
This is a QT only feature.
