Clone DataSources
 
Problem
To create clones from a DataSource and use them to create different players for playback.

Solution
A sample application is written.  It accepts a URL of the input media for playback and a number specifying how many copies of the playback it should generate. It performs the following steps:  
  1. Create a DataSource for the given input URL.
  2. Create a cloneable DataSource from the original DataSource with the Manager.createCloneableDataSource call.
  3. Create clones from the cloneable DataSource.
  4. For the cloneable DataSource and each of the clones created, create a player for playback.
