Winamp doesn't see output plugin.

I'm working on a special output plugin, but I'm having problems getting winamp to see it.

The plugin properly inits the structure (which winampGetOutModule returns the pointer to). winampGetOutModule IS called by winamp, and returns the pointer, but I have no idea what is supposed to happen after that.

winamp never calls any of the functions in the Module structure (Init is never called, for instance). I have the version entry set to '1' and description is just "Beta Output Plugin" (null-terminated), and for id I used 411441.

Is something wrong with this? As I said, winamp calls winampGetOutModule alright, but the plugin never shows up on the list in preferences.

Does anyone know *exactly* what winamp looks for when deciding if a .dll file is truly an output plugin?

Thanks much.

For some reason the forum won't let me edit or delete my original post.

The solution is that the version field must be 0x10. I thought that was for plugin version, but it's most likely the version of the API interface there.

Anyway... it works now.
