Plug-in oriented development

Hi,
I have a small suggestion.

It will be nice if the streaming core has support for plugins.
The plugins could be for encoding/decoding/re-encoding(like ogg/wma to mp3)/re-bitrating etc

To the end user, it will be like, for eg placing an 'ogg_dec.dll' file in the plugins directory. And Viola!, VibeS could stream ogg

(Pretty-much winamp style )

Encoding/decoding is a planned feature for Vibe Streamer. Although I can't say now how it will be solved, but dll support would be a nice way to solve it. I've played around a bit earlier with plugin support in Vibe Streamer and go it working quite fine, but it hasn't been implemented since I didn't see any really great use of it, but this might not be a bad idea.. I'll keep it in mind, thanks
