It's probably best to ask Alexandre about this, but it either slipped
through the cracks (and I didn't want to submit it again until I was
completely happy with it) or it was due to depending on other unimplemented
behaviour (IFilterMapper interface).

It should work alright if you can get the patch to apply properly, but IIRC
a few changes conflict with it. I still have a few things I'd like to
improve (like using DirectSound functions to enumerate the DirectSound
devices available) and I will submit another patch when this is done in a
couple of weeks.
As for the future, work on Quartz shouldn't be too hard to do. A minimal
working system would be a File Source 'codec', video and audio renderers and
the graph builder, along with my device enumerator implementation.

Yeah, let's wait for him to come back from vacations :-)
I was just surprised the other day when I looked at the devenum DLL
directory and found it empty and somehow remembered someone sending a huge
patch to fill it in.

If you want, I wrote a Python script that transforms most of the 'old-style'
COM definitions to 'new-style' COM macro usage. I could give it to you (I do
not remember if your patch defined a lot of COM objects or not).

Well, if you want to start work on Quartz, feel free to do it, you would be
our saviour (to all the gamerz out there who cannot have intro / cutscene
movies due to the missing Quartz stuff in Wine).

We were planning to start on it this summer, but well, as we have still a
lot of work on D3D(7/8/9) and DInput, it was not really our highest
priority.

Do we even already started the Directx 9 implementation ?

Not that I know of, but you are free to help them :-)

How do you get the game to run, then?

I have a game (Rubik's playground) that won't start because the start 
movie can't load.

Well, the only game that I personnally test which requires Quartz
(SystemShock2) simply does not play the movies if there is an error...

So basically, it works per default.

Otherwise, there is the '--dll quartz,devenum=n' solution :-)

I don't remember rejecting that patch, so it probably slipped through;
please resubmit when you are happy with it.
