No, I don'tthe user should have to manually switch this mode (if you like to 
call it that way). The mointor window should display the correct controls 
depending on what the user is just doing. E.g. if I select a clip in the 
timeline, I want to see markers for in- and outpoint in the monitor slider, 
but if I select more than just a clip (maybe the while project) they should 
disapear.

BTW, another thing I'm going to add the next revision is a reply to <play> 

  <reply command="play" status="playing"/>

Every frame piave will send:

  <playing time="123.456"/>

or 

 <reply command="play" status="playing" time="123.456"/>

whichever you like better (I'd vote for the short option)

and after the scene is played, I'll send:

 <reply command="play" status="stopped" time="123.456"/>

Also play will start playing at a start point and till a stop:

 <play speed="1.0" start="12.34" stop="23.45"/>


Cheers,
Rolf
