Updated xAPFramework.net and SliMP3 Connector app

[Stuart Booth]

Well I think that's everything on my web site that needs it updated. I
discovered today that I hadn't correctly linked the last release of
the xAPFramework.net source code! Oh well.

xAPFramework.net v1.2.4.0 is now available for anybody that's
interested in this. It features a few bug fixes and a large stack of
new classes in the xAPSchemas assembly designed to support whole house
audio applications. A complete change history for this, including
links to the binaries and source code is available here:

I've also uploaded the matching build of my xAP SliMP3 Connector. This
supports all the WHA schemas that it can at the moment. The download
includes documentation, schemas and a large selection of sample
messages. More info here:

All the xAP Schemas I currently use are available online at the link
below, but the various downloads also include the relevant schema
documents:

Coming soon:
1. A Windows GUI on these currently console mode apps.
2. Slightly different application architecture which I'm testing out
with the SliMP3 connector app.
3. OSD messages to SliMP3 display.

BTW, check this out. This is a *complete* xAP Hub or HubClient
implementation that sends a display "Hello World" message to all
Slims
on the network. It only lives momentarily though, so as a Hub it's
utterly useless, but it does also register (briefly) with an existing
hub if there's one already running :-)) Just wrote this and tested it
just now:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
xAPListener listener = xAPListenerPortDetector.CreateConfiguredListener();
xAPOSDDisplaySliMP3Message message = new xAPOSDDisplaySliMP3Message
("Hello", "World", 15);

listener.Start();

xAPSender send = new xAPSender ();

send.Connect();
send.Send(message);

listener.Dispose();
} // End of Main
