It is a new event multiplexor. This will allow the development of plugins that 
can anylize the audit data in realtime for certain things or the development 
of plugins that either transform the data into another format and/or move the 
data to another machine.

I know of no plugins except the one that IBM submitted. I am developing some 
but they are not released. So, today I'd say there is no interference. Down 
the road there could be if you configure it that way. No plugins will be on 
by default with the possible excpet of af_unix which is needed by 
setroubleshooter.
