The GMPI indeed stands for "Generalized Music Plugin Interface (GMPI)" (note
the word "music").
But on the other hand, I personally would be very pleased to see image
sequences (video) incorporated in a plugin interface. I read other people's
opinions about why not just specify a plugin as having a certain number of
inputs and a certain number of outputs of potentially different data types,
and I liked it. There are differences however in types with respect to
asynchronous / synchronous behavior.
But I think it is important to agree on this when defining the goals. If
possible, I would like to see audio, MIDI (or something similar), images and
control signals as the four basic types that flow around between hosts and
plugins.

PS
About MIDI: one could in fact maybe think about this as a special kind of
"control signal"
