The only thing in that area I'm going to change before 1.2.0 is the
actual data routing. Currently each player needs to separate the audio
tracks, but I want to make one general cDevice::PlayData() function
that is given the entire data stream and separates audio, video, AC3
and whatever else there might be and sends it to the proper destinations.
Apart from that there won't be any more functional changes for 1.2.0,
because I want to get this one finished in the next few weeks...
