Ok, I believe I addressed all your concerns now.

Done.

Right. Today, I also believe that we should never have code like 'using 
namespace std', ever. I removed it and it still compiles.

Done.

Yes, we discussed this in person: I don't have strong feelings for either 
version, but I believe we could safely use plain frequencies and maybe 
introduce some kind of type-tag on streams to show whether a frequency is 
expected in the ui.

On the other hand, if speed is all you care about, as long as 
BSE_SIGNAL_TO_FREQ / BSE_SIGNAL_FROM_FREQ is a linear function (not exponential 
or anything), we could simply operate on the scaled values directly, without 
calling either macro once-per-sample.

> Finally, please rebase again, to track latest master ;-)

Done.


Note: I also added a minimal portamento demo, which just shows off this feature 
in isolation. As things should be self contained, I neither used bleposc nor 
drum samples (i.e. from some hydrogen kit), although this would probably 
improve the overall sound quality of the demo.
