Have you played around with this at all?  I heard Tuviah made some  
changes to the engine sometime around 2.5 that modified the behavior  
so that it would be possible to check the qtVersion and then set  
dontuseQT to true and QT wouldn't be used.

I played around with this for a bit when I was working on the Images  
and Multimedia conference and got it to work sometimes but not all of  
the time in my tests.  I didn't have time to narrow down what was  
going on but you may be able to find something that works.  It may be  
that you can't have any media loaded into a player when you set  
dontuseQT to true or that you have to create new player objects after  
setting it.  I don't know but it may be worth fiddling around with.
