So, probably now would be a good time to decide how to handle this:

(In reply to Michael Catanzaro from comment #19)
> do you think our install missing media codecs API is fixable?
> If not, we will have to deprecate it. That would be a shame as this is an
> important feature that is not currently functional, but we really can't have
> missing codec prompts appearing for regular YouTube videos.
