I understand that, an indeed this should be possible. However if there is a
plugin, it has to be dlopened (or something) to tell what parameters it
excpects - that is if plugins can be added any time.
Perhaps if a plugin is only opened when it's parameters are queried (and of
course when it is used) than everybody will be happy - a cli to mplayer has
the choice not to query the plugin if it knows the parameters by heart.
