The user agent is the wrong way to check for support. Arora supports
different codecs based on the platform. (It uses QtWebKit which uses Phonon
which uses the platform's multimedia support. On Fedora, it will only
support Ogg and other patent/royalty-free codecs out of the box, on O$ X,
only MPEG4 and QuickTime stuff, on Window$, whatever M$ ships. Any other
codecs have to be installed by the user.)
For me - OGG fallback is essential... There can be a list of priorities like:
1. play H264 HD HQ video
2. play LQ video
4.
5.
6.
7. play OGG (the must)
and then browser can choose best suitable one or fallback to OGG.
