Containers are most useful in segments or scripts (which is what they were
designed for I think).
You can pack all your content into a single segment or script file and
deliver that one file to be played.
You can use containers separately too, but you'll have explicitly load them
using C++ or VB. I haven't found a need to do this yet. Does anyone use
DMusic contatiners outside of segments or scripts?
