* <u>Communication approach</u> - Player, of current version, decomposed into two main parts: Player core, which is the core Player API, device drivers, driver loading code, configuration parsing code and driver registry. Transport layer, this part is independent of device drivers and can be any type of transport system, of current version it is implemented as two libraries, libplayertcp and libplayerxdr, and is based on TCP communication protocol using sockets (and message queues). Other transport types which can be used are JINI and CORBA based (means there is support for RMI and RPC).
