Yes, it would need an option to disable it. It's not unusual to have
a few hundred ports in a complex setup. A single MADI interface uses
128 ports just for the hardware in/outs, for example.
Agreed, I am in the business of using an increasingly large number of ports
and wringing as much audio execution time out of the system as possible.
even small memory/execution overheads add up quickly in this context.
Additionally it is my opinion that a well written JACK client must include
its own volume adjustment. in fact, I have yet to encounter one I use that
does not.
Furthmore I do not believe it can be That much trouble to insert some
manner of volume adjustment, eg those found in patchmatrix or mentioned so
far, between those that dont.
Possible,
but not as simple as you imagine.
Just allocate an extra buffer for each port when creating the port.
The extra memory used by this doesn't matter. But maybe for your
usage, it could, so perhaps there should be a compile time option to
disable it.
