I suppose I'm a minority, but I like opening audio and video files in an 
embedded player in a new tab.

Isn't this possible at least to the extent where you can choose "embedded 
viewer" or "separate viewer"?  Perhaps this doesn't fulfil the exact 
requirements, but having one audio (for example) player that can _actually_ 
play all of the audio formats is less likely (I think) than the individual 
formats choosing the "right player" from their "Application Preference Order" 
list.  I would definitely agree that an "Application Preference Order" list 
at the audio (as our example) level would be a nice feature as I'd almost 
always rather use embedded kmplayer than noatun in cases where both work.  (I 
am used to the keybindings, and it's a pain to have to think of the 
keybindings for a player that seldom gets used.) ((No offense to the people 
who make noatun, I just learnt mplayer keybindings first.))
