I strongly disagree... sort of.<g>

I would like GMPI to do a single audio sample format, and it should be
called "sample_t".  If we wind up designing the notion of plugin profiles,
then one profile can have sample_t be float, and another can have it be
double.

I object to double as the preferred or nominal format because of memory
bandwidth considerations.  Mundane DSP can get pretty expensive when you
start requiring each audio data buffer to be twice as big as necessary.
Double is important for internal state of DSP (such as coeffs in a biquad,
for example), but for connecting objects float seems pretty robust.
