 Dan replied to most points, and raised the main problems

   I would add an extra "unsigned int flags" as the last parameter,
unused for now

  Same for the Create() one per Dan's suggested renaming.

  For Stop/Destroy, my preference in naming would go to Delete, and also
add an unsigned int flags argument.
