It's not "so hard", it's just one more thing that plugins have to deal
with instead of hosts. My own opinion is that the host should just do it.
If a user does that during a performance, he risks drop-outs.
But we could agree that if the host denies that request, the "operation
was not permitted at this time".
Is it worth the awkwardness for the plugin? I want to say no, and that
the host should handle it, but I don't feel stringly enough to argue it
very well. :) Anyone?
