Every possible file. It searches for all files in configured basedirs
and you can define the player-software (and if the file is playable at
all) by filetype. I'm throwing video files straightly to full-screen X
with "export DISPLAY=localhost:0;/usr/bin/mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=3,0
-vo x11 -fs -zoom". Apache is running on the same user that has the
right to play the files, just to make things easier (the machine is
dedicated, after all).

And yeah, it normally plays randomly the radio-playable marked tracks
and you can browse and search them - you'll need to log in to see the
files you have permissions to (ables ie. you to give your kids
permission to play cartoons, but not porn).
