Chris@25:  * \class Plugin Plugin.h <vamp-sdk/Plugin.h>
Chris@25:  * 
Chris@25:  * Vamp::Plugin is a base class for plugin instance classes
Chris@25:  * that provide feature extraction from audio or related data.
Chris@25:  *
Chris@25:  * In most cases, the input will be audio and the output will be a
Chris@25:  * stream of derived data at a lower sampling resolution than the
Chris@25:  * input.
Chris@25:  *
Chris@25:  * Note that this class inherits several abstract methods from
Chris@25:  * PluginBase.  These must be implemented by the subclass.
Chris@25:  * 
Chris@25:  * 
Chris@25:  * PLUGIN LIFECYCLE
Chris@25:  *
Chris@25:  * Feature extraction plugins are managed differently from real-time
Chris@25:  * plugins (such as VST effects).  The main difference is that the
Chris@25:  * parameters for a feature extraction plugin are configured before
Chris@25:  * the plugin is used, and do not change during use.
Chris@25:  *
Chris@25:  * 1. Host constructs the plugin, passing it the input sample rate.
Chris@25:  * The plugin may do basic initialisation, but should not do anything
Chris@25:  * computationally expensive at this point.  You must make sure your
Chris@25:  * plugin is cheap to construct, otherwise you'll seriously affect the
Chris@25:  * startup performance of almost all hosts.  If you have serious
Chris@25:  * initialisation to do, the proper place is in initialise() (step 5).
Chris@25:  *
Chris@25:  * 2. Host may query the plugin's available outputs.
Chris@25:  *
Chris@25:  * 3. Host queries programs and parameter descriptors, and may set
Chris@25:  * some or all of them.  Parameters that are not explicitly set should
Chris@25:  * take their default values as specified in the parameter descriptor.
Chris@25:  * When a program is set, the parameter values may change and the host
Chris@25:  * will re-query them to check.
Chris@25:  *
Chris@25:  * 4. Host queries the preferred step size, block size and number of
Chris@25:  * channels.  These may all vary depending on the parameter values.
Chris@25:  * (Note however that you cannot make the number of distinct outputs
Chris@25:  * dependent on parameter values.)
Chris@25:  *
Chris@25:  * 5. Plugin is properly initialised with a call to initialise.  This
Chris@25:  * fixes the step size, block size, and number of channels, as well as
Chris@25:  * all of the parameter and program settings.  If the values passed in
Chris@25:  * to initialise do not match the plugin's advertised preferred values
Chris@25:  * from step 4, the plugin may refuse to initialise and return false
Chris@25:  * (although if possible it should accept the new values).  Any
Chris@25:  * computationally expensive setup code should take place here.
Chris@25:  *
Chris@25:  * 6. Host finally checks the number of values, resolution, extents
Chris@25:  * etc per output (which may vary depending on the number of channels,
Chris@25:  * step size and block size as well as the parameter values).
Chris@25:  *
Chris@25:  * 7. Host will repeatedly call the process method to pass in blocks
Chris@25:  * of input data.  This method may return features extracted from that
Chris@25:  * data (if the plugin is causal).
Chris@25:  *
Chris@25:  * 8. Host will call getRemainingFeatures exactly once, after all the
Chris@25:  * input data has been processed.  This may return any non-causal or
Chris@25:  * leftover features.
Chris@25:  *
Chris@25:  * 9. At any point after initialise was called, the host may
Chris@25:  * optionally call the reset method and restart processing.  (This
Chris@25:  * does not mean it can change the parameters, which are fixed from
Chris@25:  * initialise until destruction.)
Chris@25:  *
Chris@25:  * A plugin does not need to handle the case where setParameter or
Chris@25:  * selectProgram is called after initialise has been called.  It's the
Chris@25:  * host's responsibility not to do that.  Similarly, the plugin may
Chris@25:  * safely assume that initialise is called no more than once.
