I hope this doesn't turn into a pissing match, but I guess I see no  
answer as an answer: QTJ is so dead to Apple that they don't even  
indulge the topic.  They've been pretty clear at how you're supposed  
to write a Mac media app going forward: use QTKit, or Core Audio/Video  
if working at that level makes more sense for you.  That doesn't  
address how you write a cross-platform media app, but again, maybe  
that silence is the point: Apple may not really be interested in you  
writing for non-Mac platforms.  And that really can't be a surprise,  
right?

There's also a difference in the information available to developers  
who went to WWDC versus those who didn't, but of course, that's NDA.
