portibility issue: path to players

In the 'default players' section, there is the following text:

Enter the path relative to your webroot to your flash video player

So if you are developing in a subdomain, the path has to be this:
dev/sites/all/player/player.swf

If your main site is in a subdomain, the same thing:
web/sites/all/player/player.swf

In the interest of portability and making it easier when switching between dev and production, could the module be rewritten so that we enter the 'partial absolute' path to the media player(s), starting from the /sites directory rather than the root:

sites/all/player/player.swf

This is how all internal paths to images, files and other media are handled.

Cheers.
