I will believe it when I see it.

I have heard through the years of a lot of code that was supposed to
be ready, yet never shipped. I'm not holding my breath for code that
is not only not ready, but theoretical.

In the meantime, I am naming the library libtidsp, since it doesn't
collide with anything existing, or planned.

Or you wouldn't be offensive about it.

I have sent a new patch series using 'tidspbridge' which I still
believe is ridiculously cumbersome.
