personnaly i think that float64 makes no sens to transport signal , this
make sens for parameters and internal memory sometimes, but this can be
taken in charge by the plug-in without notifying to host...

if you want anyway support 64bit float for signal streaming,  i prefer
really to consider it as a parameter (like the samplerate for example) . If
the plug-in cannot support it , the host could take care about conversion,
and if the host cannot deal with 32bit float or the opposite, so never
mind... If the plug-in want to be fully compatible , it has to provide 2
functions , one for float32, one for float64... i prefer to do that than to
recompile plug-in with 64bit float.

About the samplerate, it's important to define no high limit.
