Agreed.

Here are proposals for some of the currently debated reqs


Req 5 - Portable Runtime

The GMPI design group should research options for a cross-platform
portability library for GMPI plugins.  And existing library may be adopted,
or a new library may be drafted.  This should be a separate specification
from the GMPI API.  Plugins that wish to be most portable should use this
API instead of native APIs whenever possible.  This API is not the host
services API, which should handle certain host-specific services tasks.


Req 6 - Audio and Control data

Plugins must be able to control other plugins.  The actual control
mechanism may involve host arbitration, rather than direct plugin to
plugin links.  This control includes things such as parameters and control
signals as well as things like voice allocation.


Req 11 - Setting sample rate
