HOWEVER, in the context of a large and complex graph, these errors can
accumulate (just as they can within your algorithm, if you don't manage
the computation properly).. there is no fundamental difference between
"routing" and "internal computation", they are subject to the same
fundamental laws albeit at different scales.

NO, no and no !... whatever the complexity of the graph , you cannot get so
much error with float 32 bit. Imagine that if you were right, all DSP 32bit
float would sound bad and would generate a big error noise. No sorry, again
this is typically a programmers debate , as ridiculous as expected when a
programmer is talking about sound quality without experience.

I programm also on SHARC and Trimedia . And Especially on the Trimedia there
can be many many routing and processing in 32bits float only , and if you
add matrix mixer, effect and so on ... you can rich easily many thousand of
virtual BUSES ! all in 32 bits float ! and believe me, this DSP rocks ! :-)

If some of amaters has no abilities to programm processing algorithm as well
as expected , it's not a reason to increase the bit resolution or whatever
technical stuff by fake argument. Maybe CSound sounds different when
compiled with double instead of float32 ... OK ! but it's not due to
precision error of the routed signal. it is due to coefficients, it is due
to the way the computation is made and so on...

Stop to say bulshit . Thanks.
