Ok, added and filled Audio/Video section, filled the other features
section, and added a reference section[1], that should be in pseudo
cheat-sheet format.

I added Voice clips under Audio/Video and not inside msnobj based
transfers because it uses the siren codec. If you disagree, remember:
this is a mailing list, that is a wiki, and I am an human (AFAIK).

Still open issues:
-The location of the Login and SOAP sections. Login requires SOAP

You said WMV3. Beware of mainstream distros: (WARNING: rant)

-Debian: AAAARGH IT CONTAINS RESTRICTED PROPIETARY NON-FREE LOCKED
SOFTWARE! REMOVE IT!
-Ubuntu: Great, non-free software, we'd like to keep it in the main
repos but that wouldn't be cool, so let's use multiverse!
-Fedora: Damn, if we include this redhat will have serious legal problems.

They did the same with mplayer (libavcodec)
