I have a class that is basically a sound server. It both generates
events - like "sound #1234 is finished" and receives commands like
"start playing sound #4567".

My problem is that I am not sure where to put this in the cairngorm universe.

If I were to put it in the model, thats kinda wierd since it generates
events, and models dont ususally generate cairngorm events. One
thought I had was not to have it generate events, but to use binding
to get information out of the object, but events really are better
since it may be playing multiple sounds and events allow me to specify
that multiple things are happening. Binding would be less clean
because my binding subscribers would have to bind to an array since
any number of sounds may be in play at one time.

If I were to make the class a view, thats wierd because views dont
generally get modified by cairngorm events.

Of course the third way is just to use standard AS3 events - which is
the way it currently works - but the architecture of commands in
cairngorm is so clean with a class for each command that it makes it
really easy to read the code.  So if I can, I would like to use the
cairngorm command structure for this piece if I can make it work.

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

Hank
