Schema Specific Notes
This Schema defines two name value pairs, command and extended.
All devices using the simple audio.basic Schema must be able to interpret the common commands, play, stop, volume (with the parameters listed above), skip, back, random, clear.
Schemas which extend audio.basic to support more capable audio playback devices should use the "command=" tag to indicate a basic command, and "extended=" to indicate the extended commands for that device.
