The last detail of 3.9 is pending, let's open 3.10.
Read it over, post any edits, concerns, or things we've missed.
http://www.gmpi-plugins.org/gmpi/requirements.php#sec_3.10
Let's see if we can do this one in less time :)
Happy weekend.
Wording suggestion:
Instead of:
"Req 43: Silent data optimizations must be supported. Plugins
that do not care to handle silent inputs specially must not have to
do any extra work. Hosts that do not care to handle silence must not
have to do any extra work."
how about something like?:
"Req. 43. GMPI must provide a performance optimization mechanism for
handling silent audio buffers. This mechanism must allow plugs and/or
hosts (or at least those that care about this issue) to flag silent
audio buffers, and to detect silent audio buffers by flag (without
examining the buffer contents) in order to avoid needless samplewise
processing."
Reasons include: 'silent data' and 'silent data optimizations' seemed
vague; 'that do not care to' kind of anthropomorphizes the system;
'do any extra work' may be a little misleading as it doesn't take any
more work to process a silent buffer than a noisy buffer.
