# Cannot unregister Soundcloud oEmbed

 * I’m looking to write my own variation on the code that converts a Soundcloud 
   URL to an embedded player. First of all, I’d like to unregister the existing 
   oembed handler for Soundcloud. I’ve looked at the documentation for wp_oembed_remove_provider()
   and wp_embed_unregister_handler() but no amount of adding filters or actions 
   seem to affect anything. WP stubbornly converts the soundcloud url to an iframe
   player.
 * The only workaround is to use the ‘the_content’ filter and intercept the post
   before oembed gets to do its thing. This is OK but I’m curious as to why I can’t
   deal with oembed more directly?
