Provide a technical explanation of the Media Plugin, its purpose, and how to use it to extend and add additional media types to LinuxMCE.

Description

Media Plugin is a plug-in in the DCE Router that is responsible for media management in LinuxMCE. Extension plug-ins can register with it to provide control for media types that Media Plugin doesn't handle itself.
