Schema Change - Hopefully a good one!

Currently, we have RIO.BASIC as a specialist schema for controlling the
extended RioPlay software.

I'm working on a Winamp server for xPL, and there's a lot in common with
RIO
(as you would expected).
Rather than having a WINAMP.BASIC Schema, however, after checking with
Tony,
I'm introducing an AUDIO.BASIC Schema, and then use a sub-tpe of
AUDIO.WINAMP, AUDIO.RIO etc..

The structure of AUDIO.BASIC's Command Messages are:

AUDIO.BASIC
{
CMD=<basic command>[<parameter>]
[EXT=<extended command>[(<repeat>)]]
}

Where the Basic Commands are defined as:
PLAY
STOP
VOLUME +<step> or ><step>
VOLUME -<step> or <<step>
VOLUME <level 1 to 100>
SKIP
BACK
RANDOM
CLEAR

As with all .BASIC versions of Schemas, this is the lowest common
denominator, and can be extended into a specialist type by adding
"EXT="
Extended Commands, as in the attached AUDIO.RIO example.

Ian.
