could you describe this more?

i mean for example in the case of mplayer the process is in the center
of focus?

one could say that mplayer is manipulating with video data, and because
of that, mplayer is an application with data in the center of focus.

in my experiences, problems can be solved usually as well in procedural
as in object oriented way. (of course i'm not talking about very small
problems).
