exciting, but it will be completely divergent from the intel/ppc world
because of the floating point issue.
this is really a great shame. floating point versus fixed point samples
will reach deep into most audio/music software, and certainly deep in
JACK. i can just about begin to imagine how one might write a JACK and a
JACK client that could run on fixed or floating point, but beginning is
where i give up.
