Much as I like the MP model, it would be a shame to loose the rock solid
ardour performance. You have ardour running inside AES now, so can't we
specify the same conditions in a LAAGA SP mode? It would require all SP
apps to use gtk-- and so on I presume? Doesn't seem that large a price to
pay.

Actually, yes!
If anyones prepared to read more of my ramblings, theres a few restrictions I
think would make it easier to write efficient code:
Known nominal 0db value (e.g. 1.0f)
Minimum sample rate (e.g. 44.1k's)
Guaranteed 2^n block size
Guaranteed only one running invocation per instance
A way for apps to indicate thier current latency would be good too.
I'm sure there's more but thats enough to be going on with, and I suspect
some of them will get veto'd anyway. ;)
