It is about general-purpose-computing of which audio-processing is a subset. (BTW: Check out the aging references on the last page.)

Sorry i missed the start of this thread. What is this patent about? Do they claim a patent on using a GPU for numeric calculations, which would be odd as a GPU is build for that, Or is it about a special technic to get the data back from the video card? According to their home page, getting the data back is a big bottle nek... so why not mixing down the tracks on the video-card, or is that also patent pending?
regards, Stefan
