Claim:
1. Media playback component comprising: a demultiplexer for receiving a data stream and for demultiplexing media content items and at least one type of non-media content items, wherein the media content items are provided at a first demultiplexer output and wherein the at least one type of non-media content items are provided at a second demultiplexer output; a playback queue, wherein a queue input of the playback queue is connected to the first demultiplexer output, and wherein the playback queue has a queue output; a queue bypass, wherein a bypass input of the queue bypass is connected to the second demultiplexer output, and wherein the queue bypass has a bypass output; and a decoder comprising a multiplexer and a decoding subunit, wherein a first input of the multiplexer is connected to a the queue output of the playback queue, wherein a second input of the multiplexer is connected to the bypass output of the queue bypass, wherein the multiplexer is configured for merging the media content items arriving at the first input of the multiplexer and the at least one type of non-media items arriving at the second input of the multiplexer to form an interleaved data stream, and wherein the interleaved data stream is forwarded to the decoding subunit being configured for decoding the media content items in accordance with commands contained within the at least one type of non-media content items in the interleaved data stream to obtain decoded media content items.
