As i me , and i say that your concept is a problem , because it causes different technical problem and increase the developpement cost and time, and is a source of further mystake and potential bug, and is useless , because it is adapted to a specific audio task only : the non real time audio montage. > Ask your questions in a way that suggests you are open > to an answer you don't already know, and we'll all be willing to explain > outr ideas.

It's an example where the IsZero is implemented but produce strange effect that the client could complain about. the fact you feel it stupid, just show me that you have no client or that you are not in contact with your client.
