So that, amongst other things, you can play/view items straight out of mix files.

eg: mix allies.mix ackno.v00 | play Is a lot more convenient than: allies.mix ackno.v00 ackno.v00 && play ackno.v00

OK, turns out that the media player really needs the file name information to be able to load the correct player and file instance. For now, I've added the ability to play straight from a mix file. Might revisit this another time.
