Current draft notes and questions:

One-shot rendering mode: Not Yet Implemented

Proxy Objects: LLPluginClassMedia - knows about msg defns.

Does every media plugin require a special/custom proxy object? Do we expect MOST media plugins to require a custom proxy object?

"Likewise, each proxy object will have a mechanism (probably a listener-type interface) that will allow other code to sign up to receive relevant messages from the plugin. "

The API describes the interface between the plugin and the plugin manager. This is subject to a design decision about how messages are routed - via the plugin manager or directly from plugin to client.
