Some of us were wondering why this would be needed?

You can mount samba shares directly in most (all?) desktop OSes.

This is why I haven't submit it earlier (I created it long time ago). Especially when I realized samba is GPL.

But it can have some advantages:
- it is right you say for desktops where you have access to shell (and root?), but how about cases where you create some embedded system without shell access or have no root? - you should still consider users that are not linux gurus and mounting remote fs is not what they want to/can do. This patch allows to skip that part when player or any tool provides some simple gui to enter credentials etc.
