I know... I've been meaning to look at the sources for a while, but
haven't done it yet...

I'm curious as to why it is worrying. I'm not expecting the square waves
to yield particularly important results, but I'm interested to know why
it seems such a bad idea.

I tried... but there's no way to turn delay compensation off for plugins
in Sonar, either in DX or VST versions... So there probably is some
delay, but I have no way of finding out how much. It's specially hard
for Waves plugins since they use a rare waveshell which is not
compatible with most simple hosts. Do waves plugins work with xfst?
