+/**
+ * This class acts as a general interface to the KDE multimedia framework.
+ * You basically point the Playobject to an URL and say "play", and it will
+ * automatically decode and play and / or display the file or stream.
+ * For non-local media, it will make extensive use of KIOInputStream to
+ * directly play the content from the remote location without having to
+ * download it to a temporary local file first.
+ *
+ * A KDE::PlayObject is never created directly with new, but only through
+ * a KDE::PlayObjectFactory.
+ *
+ * Basically, it is used like this:
+ * \code
+ * KArtsDispatcher dispatcher;
+ * KArtsServer server;
+ * KDE::PlayObjectFactory factory( server.server() );
+ * KDE::PlayObject* playobj = factory.createPlayObject( someURL, true );
+ * playobj->play();
+ * \endcode
+ *
+ * Internally, the KDE::PlayObject acts as a wrapper for an Arts::PlayObject.
+ *
+ * Special care needs to be taken for non-local media. In general, you
+ * cannot safely figure out the mimetype of the remote media content, by
+ * looking at the URL alone. You need to download some data to analyze
+ * the content. Since KDE::PlayObject is only a wrapper for an
+ * Arts::PlayObject, and an Arts::PlayObject needs to know the mimetype
+ * of the data it plays in order to pick the correct decoder, one cannot
+ * directly create an Arts::PlayObject and attach it to a stream. Therefore,
+ * the following approach is used.
+ *
+ * Whenever a the factory creates a KDE::PlayObject for a non-local content,
+ * it first generates a so called "Proxy" Playobject. This is a
+ * KDE::PlayObject that does not contain a real Arts::PlayObject yet.
+ * As soon as you invoke the play() method, a connection to the media
+ * source is made, and as soon as the mimetype is known, the appropriate
+ * Arts::PlayObject is created.
+ *
+ * This has some side effects that developers need to be aware of:
+ * Until the real Arts::PlayObject got created,
+ * - the capabilities() method returns "zero" capabilities,
+ * - description() and mediaName() will return a null QString,
+ * - currentTime() and overallTime() will return "zero",
+ * - despite the fact that isNull() returns "false", object().isNull()
+ * will return "true". If you need to directly access methods of the
+ * internal Arts::PlayObject, be sure to use object().isNull() to guard
+ * your access.
+ *
+ * A KDE::PlayObject will emit the signal playObjectCreated()
+ * as soon as the real internal Arts::PlayObject got created. This is also
+ * true for local media files. So you can generally connect to this signal
+ * and act on it if your application needs to know about the real capabilities
+ * of the Arts::PlayObject.
+ *
+ * However, KDE::PlayObject will try to act reasonable on calls to play(),
+ * halt(), pause() and state(). If you call play() and then pause()
+ * before the connection to the media source was established, it will
+ * not start playing once the connection got established. Calling halt()
+ * will cancel the connection process. KDE::PlayObject will maintain
+ * an internal state variable, and calling state() will return this
+ * internal state until the real Arts::PlayObject got created, afterwards
+ * the state of the Arts::PlayObject will be returned.
