depends on the implementation. i don't think that the standard lays it
down this tightly. i don't know precisely how sfront does things, but
i'm pretty sure it doesn't get to totally eliminate per plugin
function calls. i think its more a case of building plugins out of low
level operations and intelligent (i.e. high-level) optimizing of the
resulting call tree. but yes, its a completely different style of API
from any of the models GMPI is derived from. i don't think you could
take any plugin written for VST/TDM/MAS/RTAS/AU/LADSPA and port it to
the full MPEG4SA spec without totally redesigning it.
