Ho, sorry for the confusion. Many thanks for your explanations.

By the way, is it allowed to have several <item /> within the <DIDL-Lite /> ?
What does it means? What does the Render do with this?
It is supposed to play each <item/> one after the other like a playlist? (even if there is only one uri in 
the soap message)
Or is it to describe a "composite" media (e.g., a music and an picture)?
Or this is used with other actions (e.g. Transition?) ?
