steve: i'm not so sure about this. some plugins might want to use
nonlinear mappings of GMPI music data onto parameter values. they
might want to do wierd mappings of multiple controllers in
tandem. various kinds of things that the host can't know about. etc.

true, though its perhaps a little less efficient than storing actual
parameter values rather than GMPI data that will need to re-delivered
to the plugin during automation playback.
