Comment 31 for bug 938180

I agree with daschuer, isn't it more a restriction to say "We won't allow you to develop a plugin" than to say "I give you the opportunity to disable things in the software if you want to"?

If you add this limit, but the user decides not to use any streaming plugins, we'll reach status quo - nothing changed in mixxx, the user won't notice anything.
It only gives the user the freedom to develop and install additional plugins which have the chance to disable functionality to reach their purpose.
The user is at no time forced to give up any of the opportunities for using Mixxx, there's no forced restriction on the user, it's still up to the user to develop, install, configure and use these additional plugins.

I think the plugins should not be distributed officially, I think the sharing of them will happen in the forums and stuff like that. I still go with the idea to allow them to modify mixxx options since the user explicitly requests to disable these features in order to use the plug-ins.
