I don't think anybody sane is doing audio encoding and video resizing in PHP.
PHP is about interface, clients are not going to wait an hour or two for a page

I think this is a limitation in your grasp of where and why PHP is being
used. I (and many others I've seen pass through php-general -- and
countless others I'm sure) use PHP as a general purpose scripting engine
for not just the web, but for shell scripts, and anything else that
comes to mind.
I'm using PHP as a general purpose language either, but that doesn't mean I'm
encoding video with it.
There are specialized tools for that and I don't think we should re-implement them just
"because we can" (c).
Btw, if you read whole discussion (and not just the last email), you'd see that
nobody even mentioned CLI.
I'm sure the PHP-GTK and other GUI binding extensions would argue with you also.
