Well... it's not really a master in the first sense (like a master
key), ie, we don't copy it.  We ask it to give us a Codec.

And in the 2nd sense... I don't like that word sense (nor "slave") so
I try hard not to use these terms anymore.

So far my fav is still CodecProvider ;)

Naming is the hardest part!!
