We may not be talking of the same thing. This is not about 'generic events' but about reduced-bandwidth continuous signals, represented as floating point samples. So I'd say that all it takes is a shorter version of the standard _audio_ buffer. The last paragraph in my previous post just hinted at the possibility that even such low-bandwidth 'analog' signals can represent discrete events with infinite timing accuracy, and in a way that would e.g. survive operations such as mixing or resampling. -- FA O tu, che porte, correndo si ?
