   I must admit i didn't think of that but would having separate
GUPnPAVConnection (or is GUPnPAVPair a better name) for each
compatible mediatype be a bad idea? An abstraction for 'Browse' can be
provided as a method of this object but it would only list the
contents that are of the mediatype this pair object represents. What
do you say?
