It an actual application, but I guess it's been hidden from the apps
scope (in the past launching it directly just gave an error anyway). The
problem here, is that the media player still does not register itself
with content-hub so that you can select it when trying to open a audio
or video file.

I registered a bug for this more than a year ago, and still has not been
fixed. The app is somewhat useless without this being fixed.
