'Upstream' make it quite clear in the discussion referenced that they DO
think removing the ability to configure this, or at least hiding it, is a
usability improvement. Their attitude is quite clear, and AFIAC quite wrong.

And I still don't accept that my bug is a duplicate of that bug. I don't
even have a 'file management' entry in preferences. I'm not complaining that
options are missing from a dialog, I'm complaining that an entire dialog for
an option I would like to be able to reconfigure and which I felt was
already in the most intuative possible place it could be, has been removed
for no apparent reason. I'll settle for them moving it to the CD properties.
I won't settle for "we know best, you're too stupid to know what media
player you want to use"
