Here's what I have added, any commplaints?
Req 45: Added filename to the list of parameter types
Req 46: All parameters must have associated metadata (e.g. name, minimum
value, maximum value). Metadata will vary depending on the parameter
datatype. All parameters must provide a default value. Plugins should
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
handle invalid parameters safely.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Req 48: GMPI plugins must be able to to present value strings for
parameter values which do not map linearly.
More:
Quite often a plugin will expose a parameter as a linear value range,
such as 0.0-1.0 or 0-1000, but the implementation will use some non-linear
mapping to produce the actual internal value. For example, volume might
be a 0.0 to 1.0 range, but the actual dB value represented by the fader is
non-linear. In these cases, plugins must be able to provide formatted
strings for the host to use in place of the literal parameter value.
