[gmpi] Re: Topic 4: Host Interface

Im not sure I agree here. Lets, for instance, take a host which requires exclusive access to hardware resources, like a sound card or a video camera. To arbitrarily say that that host should be embeddable inside another host, or a chain of hosts, which all may be competing for the same hardware, is pushing it a bit.
So, once again, I am not arguing that it should not be simple to write a GMPI host which is also a plugin. It should be easy. But I cannot agree with us saying that any host should be easy to turn into a plugin.

I am rather uncomfortable with saying that the host SHOULD be a plugin. I am absolutely in favor of allowing plugins to host other plugins, but 


If GMPI is done right, it is simple to make your host be a plugin.  No need
for rewire or any of that.

If it is hard or impossible to do this, then we screwed up.
