True, BUT it is worth investigating and discussing if enumeration-level
functionality really can solve the "format problem", at least on the
data-encoding side of things. Moderator, is it OK to discuss some
enumeration issues now?

BTW, even if we do take the enumeration route, we will need to allow the
plug-in's various logical data ports to support different encodings,
otherwise conversion objects will not be possible. However, I figure we
can at least fix the port-and-format set at enumeration/instantiation
time, unless people are wanting plugs that can dynamically reconfigure
their I/O without reinstantiating..? DXi can do this, and even VST "sort
of" can, but I'm inclined to think it will add too much complication for
the amount of usefulness it brings. Thoughts?

Regards,
        Angus.
