I once suggested OPI, but was stringly suggested to include 'audio' or 'sound' or something in it. Problem is that 'Plugin Interface' or 'Plugin Architecture' takes up two letters, and we all know good acronyms are THREE letters. Also 'Plugin Interface' (which I prefer to 'architecture') happens to be the last part of the already well defined 'API' acronym. Maybe we can leave that bit out? As for 'Linux' I prefer it be OS neutral. And please don't say GNU. I've converted it to PAPI for now, since it is easier to speak, and I 'speak' in my head as I write. {Portable, Public, Puerile} Audio Plugin Interface. or 'PAPI Audio Plugin Interface'? My personal preference is for something that doesn't have to be spelled to be spoken. I know most people say VSTi as 'visty'. Tim
