I don't see a clean way to do parameter clipping without making another
level of dynamism on top of parameters.  The ideal would be that the GUI
knob would just stop rotating at a certain point, until the clip was
resolved.  Making it go past the clip then come back after some latency DOES
suck.

A custom GUI can probably provide the ideal behavior, but a motorized fader
or an LED-encircled endless rotary encode has the latency problem.

I think we're travelling down a rat-hole and we need to punt on some of the
details.  How can we characterize this all as reqs?
