= Analysis =

== Overview ==

This task is about building a second media engine implementation to prove that we can change media engines in Sophie.  This is a proof of concept task for this revision.

== Task requirements ==

 * Build a second dummy media engine that adds itself to the media engine manager
 * Implement simple rendering, such as "This is a video named %n"  or beeps for audio

== Task result ==

 The result is code that demos how to build an alternative media engine.

== Implementation idea ==

Due to limited time, don't worry about implementing an actual second engine.  Just make sure this second engine works when switched in or out.  See the related task section.

== How to demo ==

Demo switching between the default media engine and this alternative one.
