That's totally different than my example and really did go out the topic.

I can come up with alternatives too. I can come up with the alternatives
to this float vs. double streaming: make it in host, or do it entirely
inside one plug-in.

The task is not to find alternatives.

If the recording plug-in were keeping last 10 seconds of audio in memory,
then you start saving the buffer content to disk.

In my system I would separate the above to a delay plug-in and to
disk writer plug-in.
