Personally, I really don't care much about audio playback in the simulator.
On the contrary, I don't want my playback to be disturbed just because I fire
up the simulator...

This doesn't mean that I'm against the idea. It just isn't for me.

In my view, I think it could go in the CVS and still be "optional extra" ;-)

Actually, we will need to come up with something sensible soon that lets the
casual user to specify how he wants his simulator to build. Currently, we
have two DISPLAY settings for building for Player/Recorder and how we have
MPEG-playback yes/no.

Also, I don't see much sense in doing simulator audio playback until we have
an API for how it is gonna work in the target, and then make the simulator
work with that.

Just my opinions.
