I think it is dubious whether people will really mix float and non-float in
any meaningful way.

Can I just press you on this point? Because the rest of your response seems to kind of depend on this.

Say I buy a nice DSP accelerator -- I dunno, TC Works or Universal Audio or something -- for my (hypothetical, unfortunately) dual-processor G5 running Digital Performer. Why would I not want to be able to insert DSP (fixed) plugs and native plugs (float) in any desired order? I think that's exactly what people will want to be able to do, indeed will expect. Do you see it differently?

Or am I misunderstanding and by 'people' you mean programmers, not users?

Or am I misunderstanding in a different way, and you're thinking that fixed-point DSP card vendors will supply GMPI adaptor shells that handle the bridge to DSP space and the conversion to/from fixed point?

Most likely I'm just being dense; if so, sorry in advance.
