Monitoring means sending a signal to an audio interface output. In the
current model signals go from output ports to input ports, so the only
signals that can access the input port of an audio interface output come
from plugin output ports. There is currently no defined way of sending
the contents of an input port to another input port, so there is no way
to monitor the signal that is feeding a plugin.
