I'm not sure it's worth the complication, though. I just wanted to make
sure that the argument was made :)
My reasoning:

The only reason to support in_type != out_type is converters, says I. And
if we put the converter code in the SDK (glue it into your host at will)
then we make the API that little bit simpler. I could be swung though, I
don't REALLY care whether it is per-plug, per-pin, or per-context.
