Something that does matter (I think), is that it says that the host is
responsible for doing the mapping. I'm just wondering: won't there be cases
where it would make more sense for the receiving plugin to do decide on the
mapping depending on what it is receiving from? I'm not saying it is, just
asking if maybe people feel the need to be able to overrule the hosts
mapping when it is necessary.
[I'm not sure (at all), but isn't it so that in Audio Unit world, there are
a bunch of predefined types of mappings and the developer of the plugin can
specify his/her(?) own mappings if needed?]
I can't think of something immediately, but if anyone thinks this should be
possible, it should be in the reqs right. So, I'm asking to be sure...
