In fact, the core only has the "all-in-one" MakeLink() function available.
My purpose here was to have it splitted in two, with something
equivalent to my ExplodeLink() made available in the core. (the
current implementation is a quasi pure copy-paste).

Feel free to play with my attached reference code (btw, soon to be
published as a recipe). The markup syntax is:

(:dewplayer MY_FILE MY_OPTIONS:)

with MY_FILE as url or attachment links and optionnaly MY_OPTIONS as:
width=... height=... bgcolor=... autoplay=... showtime=... volume=...
(dewplayer own options)
+link -link (provide links to the file before [-] and/or after [+] the
player itself)
txt=... (alternate text link)

As an example:

* (:dewplayer (Attach:)PmSong(.mp3) +link:)
* (:dewplayer http://localhost/~dfa/uploads/Test/PmSong.mp3 +link
txt="The PmWiki Song":)
