I know that i don't think angus was suggesting that, and i know i wasn't. i'd like to read his response as supporting the idea i was proposing, which could be summed up as: "answer the questions on the agenda by surveying other plugin APIs, rather than from scratch, then toss out the crap, uniquify the common stuff, and add whatever is missing. do this because the existing APIs work, albeit with various shortcomings." that way, we can be arguing about a complete set of answers to the agenda, rather than doing it from scratch. --p ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
