Installed Nightingale 1.13a on Windows 7 Professional. Install generated no errors, but every audio file when played, gives error message "Can't connect fakesrc with decoder (error-80040200)"
Uninstalled, installed 1.12, 1.12a and each time got same message.
Took code from nightingale site to check supported formats and ran it in the error console and the type I was trying to play (mp3) was in the list.
Installed Quicktime7 and was able to display (and hear audio from) .MOV video files.

I'm running 1.13a (built myself from sb-trunk-oldxul on Feb 1, 2016) on Windows 7 Home and I can play mp3 files fine (I haven't tested any video files). Not sure if it makes a difference using Windows 7 Home vs. Professional?

I think it relies on some mp3 codec being installed on the system, but not sure.
