Notice that even in the (worst) case it turns out that the in-process model
is the only fleasible for certain apps (assume that the cache hits , memory
footprint etc do cause problems in a lowlatency multiple process model),
one can still run consumer-grade apps (games, mod-trackers ecc) along with the
lowlatency audio server through a sort of "proxy-server" that pipes the
ins/outs of consumer-grade audio apps into it.
So the consumer-grade folks should not be concerned in any way.
With a bit of glue code both worlds can coexist peacefully without the
user/programmer (of consumer-grade apps) needing to know what's going on
behind the scenes.
Benno.
