Of course not :) GLAME is using floats everywhere, and I'm certainly supposing to restrict data type of audio samples to float. > However, as I pointed out yesterday, and as Richard himself notes, > there is no particular problem imagining an API with more flexibility > like LADMEA "containing" "exchanges" like JACK. Yes, so to have people adapt the new API quickly, I suppose to not support this feature at the beginning, but to design the API with that future extension in mind. > >I'm just fearing that while there are those two basic fundamental > >APIs they're going to be hidden and crippled by any of the suggested > >implementations. > > > >So please - go the easy way, drop the need for B, but _dont_ intermix > >A with the resulting API (so you can add B later without lots of hassle). > > Do see any ways in the existing JACK API that does this?
