This doesn't match my experience, I've seen /very/ large pd and jmax
graphs with feedback (32bit floats between objects) and the rounding
errors do not become a problem.
I guess you could probably construct a graph that deliberatly brought out
rounding errors, but it would be quite hard, and its not the sort of thing
a user is going to do accidentally.
IFF we require format negitition anyway, then doubles wouldn't hurt, but
I'd prefer to see a system without audio format negotiation.
