Agreed, but I think this particular aspect needs a little
LAD input (*cough*torben*cough*). :-)

I'm all about Real Time. :-)

And that's the thing... we use 32-bit FP here because it's
easier to program and desktop has Lots Of It. But similar
algorithms can be adopted to handle S16 data and it'll have
better performance on a mobile device.

When I deliver a plugin... I want it to be Instant Awesome.
Not, "Oh... yeah... about that: your phone sux. Not
enough floating point power. Sorry. All sales are final."

And this is what I'm wondering... could/should this be
done with an LV2 extension?
