hmmmm why is there a limit? i mean other than a practical one? And as far as
i understood, we have a quite hybrid design, how hard would be the move to a
true client server design? And is there any way to put the mplayer outside the
server?
I am playing around with CORBA at the moment and like it quite much, so as far
as i could see it wouldn't be too hard to let the distributed mplayers contact
the server using such a mechanism.... but on the other hand at the moment i
try to finnish (really this time ;) very hard my PhD.... so i have no time to
try to code this into xconq...
