I did kind of misread your suggestion but once I have the basic control
working robustly, I plan to investigate how I can use the media control
extensions of ASK to possibly spoof the kind of control you're talking
about - at least for ongoing transport such as play/pause, volume etc.
It may always be necessary to invoke the skill name to change devices
but the aim is to make it as easy to use as possible. Of course, to make
this happen without the discovery approach you suggest (there's already
device discovery built in to the skill) is a bit of a hack and either
may not work or may not pass certification by amazon.

Time will tell.

Right now my main concern is making the basic skill actually work on the
varied number of platforms users have!
