Add functionality to automatically embed linked media in posts

[shokora]

Automatically embed all media-links inside posts and comments just like facebook does.

It's probably not optimal to always render the embed immediately because that will break the continuity of the interface. I'd say it's better to render a 'embedable media url' into a specific 'media-box' and when you click on that it will automatically replace the 'media-box' with the embed code in the DOM.

I have a very rough version (without the media-box) running locally using oEmbed and the JQuery plugin:
http://oembed.com/
https://github.com/starfishmod/jquery-oembed-all

This does mean that JQuery will be added as a dependency but as far as I can see that is not really a huge problem.

This sound awesome, I'll definitly look at the oEmbed library.
And there's a PHP library :) https://code.google.com/p/php-oembed/

Thank you for the link !
