I think that will break the recursion, as they won't be iterated through
later, but you may be on the right track.

16 (sixteen!) new plugins - mostly logic ones for building strange
sequencers and a much more refined GUI following the discussions we had
on this list. Quite a lot of other bits too, like preliminary OSX
support.
There is a screenshot which shows the new GUI here:

Basically we ditched the seperate windows.

Output terminal modules (OSS,Jack,DiskWriter) are needed to be flagged
to resolve perfectly circular patches (eg Jack -> Echo -> Jack). The
Graphsort falls back on this if it can't find a root by itself.

Indeed, the implementation shouldn't affect anything else. No special
requirements that I can think of, except it shouldn't be too slow, but
it's currently a recursive function it probably couldn't get much slower
- and it doesn't impact the performance at the moment.
