Point being, a video player is typically designed to play back one large 
video file. The GUI generally isn't designed for things like playlists, 
shuffle play, EQ adjustments, and all the other sorts of things a 
dedicated audio player is designed for.

Having said that, does anybody remember that time they tried to make 
WinAmp into a video player? Sheesh...
