But I want to get to some form of decisions in THIS lifetime. How about this as an alternative: For GMPI v1.0 all plugins must support mono (non-interleaved) streams. We make it known that for GMPI v1.1 there is a proposal to add an "I prefer interleaved data" flag. IFF developers clamor for interleaved capabilities, we can add them to v1.1? Afterall, not EVERYTHING can be in version 1.0, or it will never ship. It sounds to me like this is a 1.1 or 2.0 feature.
