Ah, good thought. I see Kenneth already tried it last night without 
success. Thanks Kenneth - saved me the time.

Longer term the aim is to be able to control whether media attenuation 
is on or off when using media containers by some explicit SDL mechanism. 
We've also got the problem we cannot turn it off when the light is 
outside, but to the quality of the end result it matters less I think.

Still trying to get my brain to digest as much as possible of the whole 
of the media code, how it interacts with itself and how it interacts 
with the rest of POV-Ray...

"The circles rapidly grow small—we are plunging madly within the grasp 
of the whirlpool—and amid a roaring, and bellowing, and thundering of 
ocean and of tempest, the ship is quivering—oh God! and ——going down!"

:-) I'm making progress, but it's slow.
