 - syslog channel should support direct remote logging
 - implement "filter" channel
+- idea of an asynch channel, that spawns a new process and
+  communicates with the stemming channels via shared memory
 
 MS:
-- implement pipe channel
+- pipe channel may need a big overhaul if we redesign
+  it around the asynch channel principle
 - review pipe handler for dangling descriptors
 - configure only checks existance of command in non-shell mode
 - find alternative to exec arguments which is hard coded to 256
 - signal handler chaining, save old signal handler and call it after our own
 - consider adding options such as PCRE_CASELESS to filter channel
-- implement "action" channel
+- implement "action" channel, can be based on pipe channel
 - correct problem with multiple buffer channels using the timer
+- solve problem with buffer (timer), irc (ping), and buffer (autoflush), by
+  creating sleep/ping threads. The disadvantage is that we must depend on a
+  pth installation, and force the parent app to be multithreaded.
+  Alternatively, we can spawn a management process in l2_stream_create(), who
+  owns management resources globally available to all channels. Or write the
+  l2 mini-protocol :-(
