I entirely agree with including transKode functionality into Amarok. I
thought I already said that, in fact. :) We could have it as a C++
plugin, so that distros could package it separately (since it'd
involve lots of dependencies). But plugin or not, we should distribute
it with Amarok.

We are coming in for a landing for Amarok 2.0, so I'm not sure about
the timing of when to add such functionality. Actually how to
implement media devices is still somewhat of a question mark.
