The way I understand it, the BParameter classes provide the UI to let a 
user access the parameters in a nice way, it goes hand in hand with the 
BMediaTheme class (or whatever it's called).
So every parameter class should have a certain UI object attached to 
it, which do subclasses BControllable (or just BControl=3F) and those 
objects do have GetValue()/SetValue() methods.

Adios...
