The following message from Hemant Kumar hasn't gotten through except as a
bounce message, for some reason, so I'm forwarding it.  My response is that
I believe current intent is that events detected on one stream make their
side-effects felt on all streams of the termination.  We may alter that in
v2 if experience shows that we should allow a more refined response.

Original message:

Hi Everyone,

     The event descriptor provides for detection of events on a particular stream by means of the parameter :eventStream  (eventStream = StreamToken EQUAL StreamID). However I couldn't find any mention of whether the side effect of event detected on a particular stream within a termination are limited to that stream only and not all the streams on the termination.

Let me take an example :
         There are 2 streams Audio and Video on a termination. EventBufferControl is set to Lockstep for the termination and Events are being detected according to Event descriptor. The events being looked for on Audio and video stream are ( A, B, C ) and (X, Y, Z). Also some signals are being applied on both the streams. Suppose event A is detected and Notified. Which out of the following would be the side Effect of event detection.

1)    Signals on audio stream are stopped (keepactive was not specified) and any further events are stored in event buffer. 
       Signals continue on Video stream and the events (X,Y,Z) are still being detected on Video stream.
2)    Signals are stopped on both the streams and both start buffering events. 

Any comments ??

Regards,
Hemant Kumar

PS : Also find attached my previous mail regarding error codes for termination state changes which went unanswered.
