    The host may wish to provide a representation of data entering or

    this more meaningful, the plugin should provide `hints' to the host
    describing the usual values taken by the data.

    plugin must not assume that data supplied to it is meaningful. If

    to run without failure and, where possible, produce a sensible
    output (e.g. a high-pass filter given a negative cutoff frequency
    might switch to an all-pass mode).

    Hints are meaningful for all input and output ports but hints for
    input control ports are expected to be particularly useful.
