Gives me a bad feeling too - and it gets worse the more I think about
it. There seems to be no end to what information "might be useful"
when effectively trying to bypass the normal behavior of controls and
the event system.

More specifically, a pitch tracker would probably have an output
density that depends a lot on the input audio...

...and if the bandwidth "hints" would have to come to life and behave
like some sort of control outputs, it's starting to get real fun! ;-)
All this just for supporting something you probably shouldn't do in
