I'll start hacking my implementation tonight, hopefully. (I'm
checking out a 22" monitor, and I need to get a *real* video card
running to see what the monitor can do...)
The plan is to try out the qm_heap for events + a fixed buffer pool
for the streams. I'll probably have only one plugin callback function
for everything, including init, to see what that design actually
looks like in real life.

I hacked an HTML "framework" yesterday, and I'll start filling in the
details of the system as I deal with each part of my implementation.
The overview and diagrams will probably come in later, but I might
have a "useful" document in a few days.

Uhm, don't know... The logo on my doc says "The MuCoS Multimedia
Communication System", until I get a better suggestion. (I could
upload or post a page layout example if you'd like to see the logo and
layout...)
