- Sounds very similar to the Windows Media Control Interface. But this is
- just a way of using a PC as a control centre for external hardware, not
- for getting digital audio/video data in and out of the PC.

- Can you actually get a stream of digital data from the OS/2 Multimedia
- Extensions, or send one to them? Do the Extensions support anything else
- besides audio?
