Valid point. With all the packaging information they collect (from those 
who opt in) they should be able to get a good feel of what hardware the 
testers have.
Requesting something like
- "Test playback in application X"
- "Test playback in application X while watching youtube"
- "Test playback in application X while watching movie in application Y"
should be feasible.
Come to think of it, we could do the same. Just put configurations on a 
wiki page and ask peeps to test.
