If this leads nowhere, I will.

So what? Mplayer doesn't play the file. Your opinion doesn't matter since
this is a fact. If you (and all other developers) _really_ want that the
Quicktime is unplayable with Mplayer, then let it be so.

It's totally inaccessible to me what is so bad with this file format that
you don't want to support it even if you apparently want to support much
worse (IMO) file formats such as wma. I'd very much like to hear why.
