If you want to use pro audio, you want to be able to mix the low latency, high sampling rate stream together with the regular OS/Desktop audio.

Why on earth would you want to mix your professionally sounding audio with every freaking app that goes "ding" or "boing" or "you've got mail"? To me, that sounds like the perfect way to ruin everything.

I WANT my music production app to grab the sound card for itself, so no "ding" or "boing" can touch it.

a complete answer would be Python and C++, because numpy/scipy can't do everything and Python is still very slow for number-crunching.

There needs to be a word for this: eliminating functionality in the name of creating a "new" way of doing things.

Yikes. You aren't kidding.

oh wow, flipping between here and there is disconcerting.
