//
// AePlayer
//
// This class represents players of the audio asset data.
// It is an abstract class that provides basic audio playback
// functionality and player setup.
//
// Concrete players such as the N64 player or the Indy player
// should be subclasses off of this class.  In turn, AePlayer
// is derived from AeClient so that it can be notified of
// any changes to asset data.  AePlayers are read-only clients
// of the asset database.
