[LAD] LAC "Tools" round-table wrapup

[Albert Graef]

Hi Robin,

I can't get to the wiki page linked to in your previous post, so here
are some hopefully useful remarks.

- multirate: The ability to deal with synchronous streams of (audio)
data at different samplerates.

- sync: synchronous (sample-based) processing at fixed samplerate(s)
(typically audio and video).

- async: asynchronous (event-based) processing (typically MIDI, OSC and
the like).

Note that we didn't have experts for all the mentioned programs on board
during the discussion (most notably, the supercollider people were
absent since they had a session in parallel), so it can't hurt if the
feature matrix is proofread by as many eyeballs as possible. ;-)
