So in GLAME, there are really only input ports and output buffers,
true? A plugin writes into an output buffer, and sees its input
port(s) as a list of connected pipes that point back to buffers?
The issue there is that it means that plugins have to be "smart" about
reading data from a port. I think there is something appealing about
putting the "intelligence" in the host, and allowing plugins to see
reading and writing as just operations a single, contiguous memory
region (for audio, anyway).
Anyone else have any thoughts on the appeal of GLAME's model?
