  more flexible way

Media Entity

File Entity

drupal.org/project/file_entity

• Re-uses core's file entity and enhances with additional UIs for managing files
• Should be a bit more abstract, splitting functionality to separate modules: field-able files, file types, file download formatter.

Fallback formatter

Replaces File Entity module's file display configuration.

Other Components

• File Image Formatters
• Field Formatter

What happens with the Media/Scald module itself?
