Beer is acceptable (so is offerings of Magic Touchpads, a guy can try
can't he?).

I also found that dock integration is kinda lacking. We crash when
dragging any item. There is as you mention no hardware integration and
the video playback is as expecte busted (but I suspect gst# will fix
that one). I don't see the preferences crash here.

Plenty broken but not at all bad, I use it now instead of iTunes for
playing music and it is very stable (with few exceptions).

I will start working on bugfiling documentation for OS X tomorrow,
provided live.gnome.org gets back up. I'd also like to start preparing
for gtk#3 building here since it sounds like that will be needed soon
for 2.3.x.

All in all I am very pleased with the status presently.
