i know very well that musical time is important for certain, perhaps
even many, plugins. but there are also many for which it is
irrelevant. parametric EQ's, any kind of compander, frequency-domain
filters, etc. are all quite capable of operating without any notion of
musical time. a live mixing console is not a sequencer yet it is
likely to run plugins of this kind. 

so GMPI has to allow both these "musically ignorant" plugins as well
as those that are "musically aware". that means that sample time alone
is insufficient, but that musical time is also not an acceptable
single format for events.
