Before we add this feature for OLPC, we should think this through a bit more:

Which clients will want this? I suppose the answer is “platforms where plug-ins have superior support for types that are also handled by built-in media machinery”. I’m not sure this is happening on a lot of platforms.

If we really do need it, we can do this with a compile time switch. The name should somehow express the “built-in media is assumed to be not as good as plug-in handling of same types” I suppose.

Maybe it’s the other platforms that are strange, where the plug-ins are old so they handle types that are better handled by the built-in media machinery.
