Well, I was trying to stimulate the generation of use cases, so we can figure out what the various transports are USED for and what we need to do with them. Use cases will show us the various pitfalls. I posted a few to try to get things going, but it's been dead around here. I'm probably coming off as a demanding, whiny, prick, but I seriously get EXCITED about GMPI and these debates. Every night I go to bed thinking "When I wake up, there will be 20 emails for me to read, digest and respond to". I keep thinking that we're "almost done" with reqs. Then I wake up and nothing. It's been DAYS since I tried the use-cases approach. Nothing. This topic started with a flurry of smart people saying and proposing REALLY smart things. Now we need to suss out which concepts make sense and which don't. I can't do it myself, and apparently I can';t extract information from you all by sheer force of will. So I'm begging, if you have any interest in seeing GMPI succeed, please find the time. At this point, I'm so GMPI-deprived that I'd be happy for Vincent to drop in and insult me again. :) Otherwise we can just do it the VST way and call it "good enough". :( Tim ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Generalized Music Plugin Interface (GMPI) public discussion list Participation in this list is contingent upon your abiding by the following rules: Please stay on topic.
