+Deprecation Notice:
+---
+The entire interface is moving to using <MRL> for input and output parameters and attributes
+pl_play and in_enqueue previously accepted paths. This is still supported, but from 1.3 <MRL> will be required
+where path attributes are provided in output, these should be ignored in favour of uri attributes
+path support is scheduled to be removed entirely from 1.3
