Well, there must be a reason why it was created, I guess... ;-)

Probably (I've actually considered it, more than once) - but in this 
case, it's just about a synth/engine library, and the public API will 
probably only be used by wrappers (JACK client, for example) and 
applications (such as games) that want a "private" instance of the 
engine. No big deal - I just want nice names for a few functions and 
types.

As to the Audiality event system (which may still be of interest when 
talking to an out-of-process Audiality engine); that will probably 
recycle a certain 4 letter acronym in a not too distant future. :-)
