Could you please say more about what you don't like about
the check API ? I said what I like about it. Will repeat it:
the 'check' API reports both success/failure both
expected/obtained results in case of failure.

In the specific case detected by Ben, if we were using check_equals
we would see as part of the failure message the results obtained with
the proprietary player, which should become what we expect.
