== Vout ==

toggle_fullscreen() is useless from an embedder point of view: if I am writing an application, I need to set the movie fullscreen or not. Which makes me think that the same reasoning should apply to audio_mute: we should rather have set_mute/get_mute: the status of mute is of interest for an application developer.

[[Zorglub]] Yes. I was thinking about actually putting both options for simplicity.

[[OlivierAubert]] Both options can be a little redundant, but it does not cost much anyway.

== Playlist ==

[[Zorglub]] I don't really know how to handle playlist retrieval as VLC playlist is not a simple list ...

[[OlivierAubert]] Yes, but it is a needed functionality anyway. We can defined a flattened view of the  playlist, which will not exactly map to the playlist but be a reasonable view.

== VLM ==

[[Dionoea]] Something like libvlc_vlm_cmd( libvlc_instance *, char *cmd, libvlc_exception ) could be usefull. This would let the enduser do whatever he wants with vlm easily.
