/** Channel Context Interface. 
\ingroup vstIHost vst365
- [plug imp]
- [extends IEditController]
- [released: 3.6.5]
- [optional]

Allows the host to inform the Plug-in about the context in which the Plug-in is instantiated,
mainly channel based info (color, name, index,...). Index could be defined inside a namespace 
(for example index start from 1 to N for Type Input/Output Channel (Index namespace) and index 
start from 1 to M for Type Audio Channel).\n
As soon as the Plug-in provides this IInfoListener interface, the host will call setChannelContextInfos 
for each change occurring to this channel (new name, new color, new indexation,...)

	if (list)

		// get the Channel UID
