Hi Lennart,

A stable plugin API is not going to happen anytime soon, sorry. Also,
it is not really practical to develop plugins out-of-tree. I
acknowledge the demand for it, but the plugin API is just too quickly
moving.

Hmm, I'd love to add proper BT support to PA myself, but unfortunately
I lack the hardware for it. It would be much easier to keep it up to
date for me then.
We are in a chicken-egg situation here. To write a plugin you need to
use our SBC encoder and our IPC. Both of them are internal only.
Hmm, is it going to stay "internal"? Or are you going to stabilize the
API for it eventually? How volatile is that API?
that is fully 100% unstable right now. The IPC is totally unclear how it
has to look like in the end. It only works right now.

We might get the SBC encoder in a why it could be released as its own
library, but I prefer not doing it right now. It would actually slow
down the development process.

Regards

Marcel
