>Also ,given this is requirements we are trying to gather and following the >discussion it seems clear that both mono and interleaved buffers are >required, the spec should reflect this. other than ron's discussion of using SIMD with interleaved buffers, i don't recall seeing any explanation of a *requirement* for interleaved. i've seen several people argue in favor of them, but in general, the technical support for including them seems weak to me. if we could get some hard data that illustrates the performance cost/benefit ratio for interleaved buffers, we'd be in a much better position to understand if there is a requirement or just a preference. --p ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Generalized Music Plugin Interface (GMPI) public discussion list Participation in this list is contingent upon your abiding by the following rules: Please stay on topic.
