sure we can add multi-media, e.g. audio, video, ..., (how about SMIL?
No, just kidding ;)
However, as stated in my first email: The audio player is meant as
starting point, and: these features are
simple enough to be provided for all three frameworks.

... but they are simple enough as a starting point.
And: if a framework is generic, then setting one capability (e.g.
setting the filename of the source plug-in) is handled as setting any
other capability. Also, registering a listener (or callback) for one
event is handled generically. So these examples already handle a lot of
stuff.
Have fun, Marco.
