/**
*  Main client interface for playback. Some terms used in the documentation of
*  this interface:
*
*    Engine - it is the 'engine' which manages the playback and maintains the
*             state. An abstract concept for where the playback functionality
*             is somehow implemented, but is completely hidden from the client.
*
*    Player - the engine may access of a number of 'players' for playback,
*             using only one at a time. A player is an abstract concept
*             representing the knowledge to play either a 'specific kind of item',
*             or 'play in a specific way', or both. The player may therefore
*             automatically change between items if required
*             ('specific kind of item'), or the client may choose the players
*             that are used ('play in a specific way').
*
*    Sub player - a player may support 0 or more 'sub' players, a logical
*             concept whereby the client,having chosen a player, can select
*             options within this player identified by name (text)
*
*    Playlist - an abstract list of items. A collection path allows the client
*             to cross reference the playlist with a collection, for example to
*             iterate through the playlist, extract user-supplied metadata etc.
