An AMI model is a piece of executable code. If you allow it to run, then it will do whatever the model developer programmed it to do. If the model maker chose for the model to have its way with your machine, then it will have its way your machine.


Moral of the story: Only run software, _any_ software, from trusted sources.

Mike,

For your curiosity, my problem was Walter's statement:

"The AMI_Init function usually will allocate memory that contains things like tap settings and impulse response, and makes them available to the AMI_GetWave function. This has always been the methodology for Init passing information to GetWave, and calls to GetWave passing information to future calls to AMI GetWave."

which did not mention AMI_memory_handle, and as such

could imply that the Init function can allocate memory

for information exchange between itself and GetWave

without letting anyone know about it.  Of course this

is not prohibited in the spec so at this point there is

nothing that could prevent it from happening.
