I'm not interested in hypothetical future plugins. 1/N gives us support for multi channel compressors, limiters etc, multichannel reverbs, what else is there that cares about the difference between a quad channel plugin and two stereo ones? A proposal where each group of ports can have it's own number of channels just brings lots of modelling problems, like what does it mean if you have 14 channels and 2 sidechains? It's just not useful, and your argument that it's no harder is not convincing. - Steve _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
