My feeling is htat you want ot aviod the run/run_adding thing, I ended up
simulating {read_to,write_from}_channel with macros anyway, to avoid code
duplication.

Also the control ports probably aren't apropriate, I would imagine that
lots of the controls of a LAAGA app would be non-float, and I think that
having some first class parameters is not helpful.
