Hi Laurent,

Thanks for the patches!

I've got one comment that I should have made long time ago... Pads are inputs or outputs... or: are they sinks or sources? I recall that it was agreed on some occasion that sink and source are much less ambiguous and they should be used instead.

So we'd have MEDIA_PAD_FL_{SINK,SOURCE}, for example. Currently the source and documentation is using input/output and source/sink interchangeably. I think sink and source should be used all the time.

What do you think?

I think it makes sense. Hans ?
