I'm not that sure I deserve all the praise, I'm doing it on the shoulders of giants. ;)
About your second suggestion, regarding the open file dialog having a playback pre-listening/preview function. I confess it was my first thought when implementing the pre-listening feature you find in the Files widget. However I stared in schock when Qt4 dropped the preview extendability in the QFileDialog::getOpenFileName() method, which now maps to the native file-open dialog where available. I'm sure it was an option on the older Qt3 framework, but now it's gone. Pity.
I guess one has to build his own custom file-open dialog for that now; unfortunately I find the task way too distracting and far from (my) core business ;) let's just hope someone out there has already been there and done that and willing to pass the source... let's google around ;)
Many thanks domenik
