 If the PaHostApiSpecificStreamInfo structure defined in this proposal includes a PaHostApiTypeId host API identifier, then this proposal depends on the 
 <A HREF="007-MultipleHostAPIsInASingleBuild.html">007 - Support for Multiple Host APIs in a Single PortAudio Build</A>

 proposal to define the form of the identifier.

-Pa_OpenStream has always had inputDriverInfo and outputDriverInfo parameters, which were defined to support passing host API specific information to PortAudio implementations. Currently these parameters are defined as void* and are not used by any implementation. Two uses of inputDriverInfo and outputDriverInfo are planned for the near future: passing device names to OSS drivers, and passing additional device ids for opening multichannel soundcards under MME.

-The inputDriverInfo and outputDriverInfo to Pa_OpenStream() will be renamed inputStreamInfo and outputStreamInfo.
+The inputDriverInfo and outputDriverInfo fields to Pa_OpenStream() will be moved to the PaStreamParameters structure described in <A HREF="016-UseStructsForOpenStreamParameters.html">016 - Use Structs for Pa_OpenStream() Parameters</A>. The equivalent field in this structure will be a void* field named hostApiSpecificStreamInfo.

 When PaHostApiSpecificStreamInfo was still declared, we intended to change the type of the
-streamInfor parameters from void* to PaHostApiSpecificStreamInfo*. Some objections were raised 
-to this, as it may have required clients to explicitly cast to PaHostAPISpecificInfo* when passing NULL. However the added semantic and type safety advantages were considered more valuable. The current
-proposal leaves these parameters as NULL.

-This proposal provides access to new platform-specific extensions. No existing client code will be modified. Only implementations that implement the extensions will be effected. Depending on the compiler used, clients passing NULL for inputStreamInfo and outputStreamInfo may need to explicitly cast to (PaHostAPISpecificInfo*).
