gstreamer is interesting, but IIRC it uses a push model rather than a
pull model, and this makes it rather unsuited for the realtime
proaudio uses that dominate GMPI's primary targets. a gstreamer graph
does not execute synchronously, and nodes in the graph can stall the
entire graph.

OTOH, i think that CoreAudio can be used in this way too, so i might
be wrong about its design appropriateness.
