Good!

BTW, this will probably mean that the Stream_event class eventually
will be renamed to Event, since that name will be free (there will be
different kinds of Events, and those that are sent over music stream
will be called StreamEvents. Other event types include AnnounceEvents,
such as AnnounceNewContext, and possibly some events for grob
acknowledgement)
