Agreed.  So let's focus on defining interfaces that are correct and
convenient so others who want to add codecs won't have to fight our
architecture!

Is the current architecture good enough so that the Japanese codecs
will fit in it?  (I'm particularly worried about the stream codecs,
see my previous message.)
