/*
 * ===========================================
 *  Outputs 
 * ===========================================
 *
 *   An output takes raw audio and/or video and processes and/or outputs it
 * to a destination, whether that destination be a file, network, or other.
 *
 *   A module with outputs needs to export these functions:
 *       + enum_outputss
 *
 *   Each individual output is then exported by it's name.  For example, an
 * output named "myoutput" would have the following exports:
 *       + myoutput_create
 *       + myoutput_destroy
 *       + myoutput_start
 *       + myoutput_stop
 *
 *       [and optionally]
 *       + myoutput_config
 *       + myoutput_pause
 *
 * ===========================================
 *   Primary Exports
 * ===========================================
 *   const char *enum_outputs(size_t idx);
 *       idx: index of the output.
 *       Return value: Output identifier name.  NULL when no more available.
 *
 * ===========================================
 *   Output Exports
 * ===========================================
 *   void *[name]_create(const char *settings, output_t output);
 *       Creates an output.
 *
 *       settings: Settings of the output.
 *       output: pointer to main output
 *       Return value: Internal output pointer, or NULL if failed.
 *
 * ---------------------------------------------------------
 *   void [name]_destroy(void *data);
 *       Destroys the output.
 *
 * ---------------------------------------------------------
 *   void [name]_update(void *data, const char *settings)
 *       Updates the output's settings
 *
 *       settings: New settings of the output
 *
 * ---------------------------------------------------------
 *   void [name]_start(void *data)
 *       Starts output
 *
 * ---------------------------------------------------------
 *   void [name]_stop(void *data)
 *       Stops output
 *
 * ===========================================
 *   Optional Output Exports
 * ===========================================
 *   void [name]_config(void *data, void *parent);
 *       Called to configure the output.
 *
 *       parent: Parent window pointer
 *
 * ---------------------------------------------------------
 *   void [name]_pause(void *data)
 *       Pauses output.  Typically only usable for local recordings.
