Well... it's not really a master in the first sense (like a master key), ie, we don't copy it. We ask it to give us a Codec. And in the 2nd sense... I don't like that word sense (nor "slave") so I try hard not to use these terms anymore. So far my fav is still CodecProvider ;) Naming is the hardest part!!
