----------------------------+------------------------------
Right now some media add-ons (like the mixer) have code to save their own
settings. But this should actually be handled by the Media Kit by calling
GetConfigurationFor before an add-on is unloaded, and then reloading that
before instantiating the add-on and its nodes later.
It appears that almost everything is in place for this except calling
GetConfigurationFor, saving those settings to disk, and then reloading
them later.
Obviously any current add-ons which save their settings themselves should
be adjusted to just rely on this method.
It might also make sense to save these settings after seeing changes from
BParameters, maybe with some sort of delay. That way the user will not
lose settings if the media server crashes, or the computer crashes or
otherwise turns off without a normal shutdown process.
