 *	\brief Plugable Module functions
 *
 *This section documents the plugable module functions of the GPAC framework.
 *A module is a dynamic/shared library providing one or several interfaces to the GPAC framework.
 *A module cannot provide several interfaces of the same type. Each module must export the following functions:
 \code
 *	Bool QueryInterface(u32 interface_type);
 \endcode
 *	This function is used to query supported interfaces. It returns non zero if the module handles this interface type, 0 otherwise.\n
 \code
 	GF_BaseInterface *LoadInterface(u32 interface_type);
 \endcode
 *	This function is used to load an interface. It returns the interface object, NULL if error.\n
 \code
 	void ShutdownInterface(GF_BaseInterface *interface);
 \endcode
 *This function is used to destroy an interface.\n\n
 *Each interface must begin with the interface macro in order to be type-casted to the base interface structure.
 \code
	struct {
		GF_DECL_MODULE_INTERFACE
		extensions;
	};
 \endcode
 *	@{
