Yes, most importantly it lets you handle the cases that the host can't eg. multichannel compression. I guess reverb would be another example, but I don't know how multichannel reverb works. In that situation, offering per-channel controls makes no sense. - Steve _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
