Thank all of you for the information!

It will be fine if the trusted plugins can authenticate each other when linking to its peer. Now we are only requested to play protected audio. 
And since the OMA DRM 1.0 wraps the original media format into a encryption format, trusted audio parsers are needed as the downstream peer of the decryption plugin, followed by trusted audio decoders and renders. It seems inevitable to modify the parsers.

Thanks
