Re: [Playerstage-users] Position Interface Modification

[Toby C. <tco...@di...>]

At one stage there was a #define to this effect in player.h, dont recall
if its still there but a good policy for limiting clashes would be to
make all custom message types >=128 then if a new standard request is
added to an interface it doesnt affect any other code.
