Yeah in fact the IAppli API does have explicit destructors
for a number of important objects, like the "MediaPlayer"
classes. I did n't think too much of it, thought that
there was some real reason whythey might want to let you
manually free up resources in certain cases, but
it doesn't smell too good!
