[gmpi] Re: Decision time: 8.1

I don't think we should use parameters for output from a plugin. Output should be a port, just like an audio output or control signal output. Parameters should only be plugin inputs which change the state of the plugin.

Parameters are also usefull for communication from plug to host.

e.g. a Level Meter generated by the plugin for display in a generic

we do this in LADSPA too.


or is my example mis-use of a parameter? 

I dont think so, usually it is reflection a parameter of a plugin, eg.
gain reduction in the case of a compressor.


So can parameters then be input, output, or inout?
