 > In [attachment:32417.4.patch], I fixed the JS errors and make the widget
 actually display an audio or a video player on the front when such media
 is selected (previously, only the preview was working).

 choose an image, both image and video appear on the preview. Saving the
 widget solves the issue.

 Probably just need to flush out the container before insert.

 > 1. Captions does not work (do we really need it here ?).

 If people are inserting images then we're going to need caption support,
 yes.

 > 1. Galleries and playlists do not work. We perhaps do not need to make
 it work here (its a "single media" widget), but we should at least remove
 the "Create Gallery" and "Create Playlist" menus in the media modal.

 I would expect to be able to insert a gallery or a playlist as a "media
 item", so I'm not sure doing away with the expected options is an
 improvement. If it "does not work" then maybe we need to look at making it
 work. Can you be more specific?

 > 1. Change "Insert into Post" button text in the media modal to something
 more meaningful

 "Use as Widgets" isn't great either. I think a simple "Insert Media" would
 suffice.

 > 1. In the admin preview, a click on the image displays the media modal,
 which is OK. But this behavior only works the first time.

 Might just need to refresh a nonce.
