Comment (by nacin):

 We have a certain standard for oEmbed providers in core. They must be
 well-established, popular, mainstream services; they must properly
 implement the oEmbed spec; and they must clearly be a trusted provider.
 Trust is more than about security — the service must also be "built to
 last," as if a provider ever stops supporting oEmbed, sites start to lose
 content they previously trusted would stay embedded permanently. Some
 nascent services are just too fragile to be material for core.

 With regards to establishment and popularity, there are a number of
 "warning signs":
  * I've personally never heard of Mixlr
  * While it is for "social live audio", it didn't come up during WordPress
 3.5 or 3.6, which added a lot of support for audio/video, including
 Spotify, Rdio, and Soundcloud via oEmbed
  * I can't find an article about it on Wikipedia
  * Even though it is a "social" platform, I almost have as many followers
 as @Mixlr on Twitter, and it pales in comparison to other aforementioned
 giants
  * It is less than a year old (at least its reincarnation)
  * The oEmbed endpoint appears undocumented:
 https://www.google.com/search?q=site:mixlr.com+oembed

 I see you have just today [http://wordpress.org/plugins/mixlr-shortcode/
 added a shortcode plugin] to WordPress.org. It is best to see what kind of
 traction/adoption it or any other plugins may receive. (Perhaps notably,
 it's the only result when searching for "mixlr" in the directory.)
