exciting, but it will be completely divergent from the intel/ppc world because of the floating point issue. this is really a great shame. floating point versus fixed point samples will reach deep into most audio/music software, and certainly deep in JACK. i can just about begin to imagine how one might write a JACK and a JACK client that could run on fixed or floating point, but beginning is where i give up. --p
