[gmpi] Re: the name GMPI

The name is *extemely* important, IMHO, and GMPI just isn't sexy.  

VST is kinda sexy.  Sounds like a turbo-charged car.

The word "plug-in" need not (should not?) be in the acronym, as it'll be
common to tack it on the end:  VST plug-ins, DX plug-ins, TDM plug-ins, etc.

How about:

SEXI - Simple EXtendable Interface
ACE - Audio Control Extension
ASE - Audio System Extension
PAX - Professional Audio eXtension
PAXI - Professional Audio eXtension Interface
AXI - Audio eXtension Interface
AXIS - Audio eXtension Interface System
