Probably a sign of good Microsoft design, where the decoding part of the
codec is clean and not tied to many internal system calls, so they can
easily wrap the decoder DLL.

Some questions: how do I pause (space) and then watch frame by frame in
mplayer? Haven't figured this out yet. Also, how to skip an arbitrary number
of seconds instead of the default which is 5 or 10 or so. Precise seeks
are quite a pain with mplayer currently.
