Users should be able to microblog a media URL and have it play.

One way you could do this easily is with yahoo media player (which I worked on): http://mediaplayer.yahoo.com

--- The media player is really nice, but... it's not Free Software. I'll need to think about it. -- evan July 11, 2008, at 05:28 PM

There are Loads of javascript based playtaggers around that just insert a very small flash file to play mp3 and stuff or to be able to play movies.

Here's some examples:
* [http://delicious.com/help/playtagger Delicious playtagger]
* [http://malsup.com/jquery/media/ JQuery Media Plugin]

and many more.

I'm using http://flowplayer.org/ to implement audio and video playback.

* [http://www.1pixelout.net/code/audio-player-wordpress-plugin/ another javascript media player]
* [http://www.sean-o.com/jquery/jmp3/ and another one available here]
* [http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/ JW Player is supposedly usable like this too]
* [http://www.varal.org/media/niftyplayer/ Nifty-Player, another one]

I'm still looking for something like [http://www.wimpyplayer.com/ wimpyplayer] in open source. I am sure I saw something like this, but I just can't find it anymore.

http://gitorious.org/projects/laconica/repos/dev/commits/9c9b6790ce78296... is a first pass at using flowplayer.

robin, I'm really looking forward to this audio/video feature next Tuesday when .7.2 is released, unfortunately, I couldn't download the latest git verson to test these new features.

Does it support upload of media as well as embed by url? Some of us [at east I know of me] would to give users ability to upload media especially audio or mp3's files.

The ability to turn off the 'upload' feature in 'config' will also be useful for admins who want users to only embed by URL
