Haven't say that, nor suggest that. It's just a example, It is just a 
other way to go.
And, let me tell you, this way is full of fun.

Have I mention that the toolkit surly include a interface to plot the 
results and beside faust code, it could compile ready to run Lv2 and 
Gxplugins?

However, this list here is the wrong place to discus that any further,
I just hope that some people here get interested in such a approve
(Tim you are more then welcome to join us),
if, please join us at
  guitarix-developer at lists.sourceforge.net

to discus and eventually help us to get it going.
