nobody is suggesting that. i started to respond to this simply because
i thought that Ron's enumeration of possible plugin types was too
restrictive.

yes, this is what i was saying. the problem is that we need to specify
what kinds of data, because otherwise the door is left open to
gray areas like video-driven audio synthesis.

GMPI, as i am understanding it, does not intend to support any kind of
data except audio (in 1 or more forms of encoding) or music (in 1 or
more forms of encoding).
