Is it possible for me to remote control WMP over network

[Arval]

Hello Friends,

I would like to know that is it possible for me to control the media player on my desktop over the network. Is it possible for me to do so? I'm having a 5.1 setup across the room. Can any one provide me the solution for doing so? Any kind of information on the above issue would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Most of the implementation available, controls the Windows Media Player on PC. They use either ActiveX controls or send commands to WMP window using PostMessage. But for PocketPC, neither the ActiveX controls work, nor sending of commands to WMP window using PostMessage works. Anyone have any idea of an alternate implementation or a correct implementation of the above to remotely control WMP in pocket PC.
