The Linguist media package

The media package will only run if there is a JMF (Java Media Framework) implementation for the operating system you are using. At the time of writing that limits it to Windows and Solaris.

These are the keywords supplied for media operations:

create
load
on
play
player
seek
show
stop

This section of Linguist is still in development. More keywords will be added as the package is developed.
