Ok, and I know this is probably an ignorant question, but could you possibly 
be a bit more specific? (Sorry I lost your original reply). I know you said 
it's just a matter of loading it and then running (cm),  but where did you do 
this? Does CM really keep it's state between k_quille objects? I.e. can you 
make an object that reads items from a stream, and then create other objects 
that read items from the same stream? What happens if you close all your 
objects, and then re-open them again? is the state of Common Music still 
preserved?

Sorry for sounding so confused, but I am :-) I had always thought that the 
only way to make this kind of persistence work would be to load the thing as 
a library, once, and once only. It's kind of confusing me to think of how 
this concept works in the case of a load-on-demand library in linux...

I still have the feeling that I'm missing a very basic point here, or else I 
am completely misunderstanding what Kjetil is telling me...
