what i meant is an error in tslib_content in CType Media where this is done:
$conf[$conf['type'] . '.'] = 
array_merge($conf['mimeConf.']['swfobject.'][$conf['type'] . '.'], 
$typeConf);
This fails when setting the reference.

the CType MEDIA is something like a dispatcher CType. SWFOBJECT, 
QTOBJECT and MULTIMEDIA are rendered with this CType, depending on 
configuration. So the MEDIA takes configuration from each of the other 
CTypes as default, that's the reason for the copy and for preventing 
double code.

It's possible to use SWFOBKECT as CType too, the only missing is a form 
for a CE, but you can use it with TS only (or php)
