   I asked a software engineer once what it would cost to build this today. I will never forget his answer:

   “We can’t, we don’t know how to do it.”

     @nixCraft That's very, because you can't find any documentation for this anywhere. If you do, you still need a documentation for that documentation. Good luck!

     @nixCraft I don't want to take this post more seriously than it is intended, but if it hasn't been seen, @icculus spent some time last year making an off-the-cuff simple media player in SDL that supports winamp skins (which I found to be an enjoyable watch) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6m6sxLnXksbqdsAcpTh4znV9j70WkmqG

     @nixCraft No one ever could. It has never been done halfway decently.

     We are talking about the cost estimation, right?
