[linux-audio-dev] some more GMPI thoughts

1)is API monolithous or there are sub-APIs like GMPI-audio, GMPI-seq, GMPI-control 2) Explicit versioning for API? 3) Explicit versioning for plugins? 4) uniq IDs for plugins? who is authority? 5) format for plugin state saving: XML? (damn its ugly!) I vote for more YAML-like language. 6) Should the GMPI discussion produce reference plugin implementation reference host implementation reference tools implementation 7) Can there be off-line non real-time plugins? 8) Should the specification produce any requirement for more documents? For example: A documant describing standard set of plugins (like in General Midi) so one could expect the first 64 plugins to be so and so. horsh
