More exactly, there are properties telling the host if : - Plug-in accepts denormalized incoming audio stream without cpu load penalty. - Plug-in doesn't output denormal numbers in audio stream, or just a few. This gives the host hints to properly place denormal killers, if needed. About silent buffers, I will probably add to PTAF a third, intermediate buffer state, marking it as "virtually silent but actually full of garbage". Encapsulated at a higher level, it becomes the "defered zeroing" concept, seen in the DXi2 API. It can improve a bit the CPU load dedicated to audio routing. -- Laurent ==================================+======================== Laurent de Soras | Ohm Force DSP developer & Software designer | Digital Audio Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.ohmforce.com ==================================+========================
