Yes. However, keep in mind that plugins must not assume that this
actually works, because it may not if DSP and GUI are on different
machines.
(I say *may* because there are NICs that function like extremely low
latency shared memory between machines, on the hardware level. These
are generally found in cluster supercomputers and other networks with
extreme bandwidth and/or latency requirements.)
