A pointer to the active cControl would be needed, or am i wrong?

teh mp3-plugin from stefan huelswitt, does this:

bool cMP3Control::SetPlayList(cPlayList *PList)
{
 delete plist;
 plist=PList;

 if(plist) {
   cControl *control=cControl::Control();
   if(control && typeid(*control)==typeid(cMP3Control)) {    // is 
there a running MP3 player?
     static_cast<cMP3Control*>(control)->NewPlaylist(plist); // signal 
the running player to load the new playlist
     plist=0;
     return true;
     }
   cControl::Launch(new cMP3Control);
   }
 return false;
}

SetPlayList is a stic method of cMP3Control and is called
if the user presses the play key.
he looks which cControl is active and if its the cMP3Control he relaods 
the playlist

could this way be used to stop the active control, dislaunch it  and 
reactivate later on?


the vdrplayer has some way of resuming; where it left off. the would be 
sufficient right now for me.

so now some meat will be grilled by me, without mercy ;-)

gunnar
