It might very well be, yeah - please tell me if it is :) and also, if
interfaces are the right way, how much code does a sink need to add to
have it work ? since all of the logic would be in the interface
definition (ie, definition of signals to fire, and so on), it seems to
me that having two functions in the interface that calculate and emit
signals seems to be  enough.  It seems to me the element doesn't really
need to do anything except call those two signals.

What do you think ?
