Advmees in hardware, software, and coding stindards for digiti media have now made the defivery of mdtimedia ifiormation a sWdard component of many systems. Unfortunately, the pace of this technologiml development coupled Itith strong commercial competition between leadng vendors, has meant that fittle consensus hx emerged over the dwign of programming interfaces to Wow the creation, maniptiation, d presentation of such dab.
