ok, How does this look? The main section says:
GMPI must support the nuances of the various platforms it supports.
The varying areas of the specification should be grouped into
profiles for each platform. Each GMPI plugin is built for a single
profile. As the GMPI specification becomes more complete, the exact
details of what this support entails will become clearer.
And the 'More on this requirement' link leads to:
Because it is impossible to design a single system that is be
appropriate for all GMPI target platforms and still provide
sufficiently high performance, it is expected that multiple 'GMPI
profiles' (variants of GMPI) will need to be created. All GMPI
implementations must have as much in common with one another as
possible, and the profiles should describe the set of things that vary
from platform to platform. Every GMPI plugn must target a specific
'GMPI profile'. The full list of things that can vary per profile is
TBD, but should include the audio sample datatype (e.g. some target
platforms will use fixed-point or integer IO, when floating point
processing is impossible or impractical).
Which is Chris' text almost verbatim.
Is everyone OK with that? More comments?
