Not only that, but designing your audio i/o around PortAudio (which is
callback based) is a lot more portable than the CSL approach, which is
based on (essentially) blocking read/write calls. If you wished to
turn your code into a plugin (for LADSPA, VST, whatever) or run it as
a client of JACK, the changes will be minor. This stands in some
contrast to using API's based on the traditional read/write paradigm.
