Wow, we're sure happy with that!! :)

I'd like to point out that, when we release libvisual-display together
with the upcoming release, displaying will be very easy, and the
display type features you describe here, will (maybe not directly)
but eventually all be included in libvisual-display, keep that in 
mind :)

Regarding the random plugin, it's a good idea, We wanted to implement
such thing in the bin, or rather an extension to the bin, called
'AutoSched' I will work on that together with the new VisBin!

Also when we start on the new VisBin system, I will also documentate 
it :)

Regarding the Bin, I'm not going to documentate the current code, if
you have questions, go ahead and ask those, I will gladly answer :)

When the bin is rewritten I'll make sure it's well API documentated.

I hope to do this either for 0.2.1, or 0.2.2, atleast we'll try asap :)

Thanks a lot and keep us updated!!
