Well, I'm just thinking about what MuCoS will do, but it *is*
possible in any API of this kind to say that data is some stuff
inside a buffer of a certain size. Then it's "just" a matter of
making sure the engin can tell what inputs and outputs can be
connected directly, and use an array of conversion plugins to handle
cases where inputs and outputs have different formats. No run time
overhead, unless you actually do mix plugins using different data
formats.
