Hi,

Native w2k has MPEGVideo in [MCI32] but not in [MCI].
This patch is part of what's needed to fix bug #14563.

It allows to play with the MCI file formats that quartz understands
when they match the registered filename extensions.
Alas, mciqtz32 only implements a tiny subset of MCI commands and
options.  So you may perhaps consider it too early to activate it now
in Wine as an MCI device.  OTOH better have this patch in place where
it belongs and work on improving quartz as time allows.

BTW, comparing sample output played via the MCI with either quartz or
waveaudio[*] reveals big differences in audio quality in the codecs
(or in the mixing, or whatever is involved).  In native, the
differences are minimal: there's still a lot of work waiting.

[*] You can force a specific device via
open 8kadpcm.wav type mpegvideo alias 8
open 8kadpcm.wav type waveaudio alias a
open 8kmp3-16k.wav type mpegvideo alias m
open 8kmp3-16k.wav type waveaudio alias w
open foo.mp3 type mpegvideo alias f
open foo.mp3 type waveaudio alias b (MCIERR_INVALID_FILE)
open foo.mp3 alias g

Regards,
	Jörg Höhle
