[gmpi] Re: Topic 6: Time representation

The problem with floating point time solutions is that they only appear to be real numbers. In actuality, they are rounding just like the intergers are. They are simply doing it in a way that is much harder to predict intuitively. Using a sufficiently resolved integer quanta saves tremendous headaches over using doubles. For one thing, you can guarantee that every sample boundary has an integer that exactly represents it. You cannot do this with floats.
