[TYPO3-ttnews] news2 and audio/video

[Stephan Bauer]

Hello Georg,

I think it would be better to use the core media element because
now you have to implement the same once again. Also it would be
greate to improve the media element with new features that anyone
could use in any media element.

Also it would be better to have the same player for media and news
elements. This could be achieved with a player extension like the
mediace_flowplayer (which has to be improved).

Also updates for the player could be seperated from news2.

Regards

Stephan
