Wow !!! this is much more that I was expected ! Thanks millions for the
clear OLE usage example.

In my case, adding this snippet directly to my code does not seem to
kick anything like a WMP... It seems that player is correctly
initialized (I can do 'ole_methods 'and 'name'). '@control.playItem
@control.currentItem' is executed but does seem to succesfully launch a
play. Any idea ?

Also, is there anything special about program termination ? Will the OLE
object survive ruby instance termination ? What should I write as a
waiting loop ? Any thread management needed ?

Thanks again,

Jb
