Abstract

A method includes initiating media player instances for producing output by execution on an electronic device. Each of the media player instances is implemented using a modular framework on the electronic device configured to have each of multiple types of media player runtimes implemented therein and to host modules that configure any of the types of media player runtimes for respective device types. The method includes determining, using a sound module of the modular framework, which of the media player instances should be used for audio output by the electronic device. The method includes generating the audio output using the electronic device, the audio output produced by at least one of the media player instances as determined.
