you've just defined "event time" to be the same as "audio time". thats
a mistake, i think. there are some definite benefits to being able to
define events' time in musical time as well.

VST does this the right way. or rather, existing steinberg hosts
do. they don't compute the information till a plugin asks for it. then
they cache it for that "block", handing the same data to any other plugin.

this isn't adequate. the VST time info struct contains pretty much no
dead wood at all, IMHO.
