Be very careful how you write float->int conversions (it is not
trivial), and work in floating point as far as is possible, there is
little reason (other then marketing) to move to doubles (IIR filters
possibly excepted).
Well, I'd qualify that as there's no need to use doubles between
modules, there are many DSP processes that work better in double if
you can afford the extra memory bandwidth. Filters are one.
It's generally not doubles in the audio path though, but its things
that you're using to modify it, coefficients, phase accumulators and
so on.
