I don't blame you! *hehe* It might look simpel to me, but there's
quite a lot of details, and still no real documentation, or complete
API headers. I'm working on the latter, though...

Well, it seem like that's about what is going on here right now - the
difference is that this project started with an Open Design
discussion, rather than a single person designing/hacking on his/her
own. I didn't really plan it this way; I happened to get in the
middle of an open discussion when I joined this list! I was actually
looking for something useful for Audiality... :-)

Exactly, and I wouldn't blame anyone for that. There's nothing to
hack, and you can't even use the header files in your own code yet...
Just some boring reading! *hehe*

Yeah, you get to see the *interesting* stuff right away! :-)
