what i find necesary are options like these:
- configure the system to use a custom flash player for mp3-files
- use iframes to display pdf media if wanted
- decide wich embed code is used for the different media types
- configure the mimetypes used for each media type

i think that the multimedia inclusion is that complexe that typo3 only 
can deliver a good standard compliant default but it has to be 
completely configurable.

in the multimedia thread below i suggested a solution and created a demo 
extension.

http://martin.ficzel.de/uploads/media/T3X_mf_css_styled_multimedia-0_0_0-z-200705312124.t3x

it has some simple principles :

- provide different embedding templates with typoscript
- define a set of rendering setups in the rendering section wich have 
subkeys for each media type
- select the redering-Setup to use with the renderMode property (like in 
textpic)

for more details take a look at the extension-ts.

of course that solution is more complex but nevertheless it can be 
configured to work out of the box.
