 *      \brief Plugable Dynamic Modules
 *
 *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
 *      u32 *QueryInterfaces(u32 interface_type);
 \endcode
 *      This function is used to query supported interfaces. It returns a zero-terminated array of supported interface types.\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;

 *
 * It's first needed to call GF_MODULE_STATIC_DECLARE() with the name
 * of the module you need to load outside of any function. This macro
 * will declare the prototype of the module registration function so
 * it should only be used outside functions.
 *
 * Then in your GPAC initialization code, you need to call
 * GF_MODULE_LOAD_STATIC() with your GPAC module manager and the
 * module name.
 *
 * Finally, you'll need to call gf_modules_refresh() with your module
 * manager.
