// every plugin must define the following entry-point:
// extern "C" DB_plugin_t* $MODULENAME_load (DB_functions_t *api);
// where $MODULENAME is a name of module
// e.g. if your plugin is called "myplugin.so", $MODULENAME is "myplugin"
// this function should return pointer to DB_plugin_t structure
// that is enough for both static and dynamic modules

// backwards compatibility is supported since API version 1.0
// that means that the plugins which use the API 1.0 will work without recompiling until API 2.0.
//
// increments in the major version number mean that there are API breaks, and
// plugins must be recompiled to be compatible.
//
// add DDB_REQUIRE_API_VERSION(x,y) macro when you define the plugin structure
// like this:
// static DB_decoder_t plugin = {
//   DDB_REQUIRE_API_VERSION(1,0)
//  ............
// }
// this is required for versioning
// if you don't do it -- no version checking will be done (useful for debugging/development)
//
// please DON'T release plugins without version requirement
//
// to ensure compatibility, use the following before including deadbeef.h:
// #define DDB_API_LEVEL x
// where x is the minor API version number.
// that way, you'll get errors or warnings when using incompatible stuff.
//
// if you also want to get the deprecation warnings, use the following:
// #define DDB_WARN_DEPRECATED 1
//
// NOTE: deprecation doesn't mean the API is going to be removed, it just means
// that there's a better replacement in the newer deadbeef versions.

// api version history:
// 1.9 -- deadbeef-0.7.2
// 1.8 -- deadbeef-0.7.0
// 1.7 -- deadbeef-0.6.2
// 1.6 -- deadbeef-0.6.1
// 1.5 -- deadbeef-0.6
// 1.4 -- deadbeef-0.5.5
// 1.3 -- deadbeef-0.5.3
// 1.2 -- deadbeef-0.5.2
// 1.1 -- deadbeef-0.5.1
//   adds pass_through method to dsp plugins for optimization purposes
// 1.0 -- deadbeef-0.5.0
// 0.10 -- deadbeef-0.4.4-portable-r1 (note: 0.4.4 uses api v0.9)
// 0.9 -- deadbeef-0.4.3-portable-build3
