You seem to be really attached to this idea.. I guess what I don't
understand is.. why? What, exactly, is the point/benefit?
- It adds /no/ flexibility
(Doesn't make anything possibly that isn't already)
- It adds a /lot/ of complexity
(Your jack patch bay will basically become useless)
Examples to the contrary are welcome, but I really just don't understand
why you want this.
