Not the same thing. I think offline processing allows seek, reverse etc.
Do we want to do this for XAP? I'd kind of hoped that XAP would dictate
that all plugins must be in-place safe.
Its very inconvienient for certain algorithms. The plugin doesn't know
ahead of time how big the buffer is going to be, so it cant prealoocate an
intermediate buffer.

do we really want anything like this? I have a 1-10 'quality' level. * Hosts assume all plugins to be in-place broken.
Why?
It doesn't really matter what the default is as long as you can override
it. That way is probably safer. From: David Olofson <david(a)olofson.net>
Instruments: have no inputs (in general) and overwrite output
Effects with #ins = #outs: overwrite their output with:
(input * dry) + (fx * wet).
We can standardize a wet/dry gain control pair. But this becomes something
every plugin needs to provide. Uggh.
Mix is not the same as wet/dry. Imagine you have an effect with an inherant
delay of 64 samples, the dry output is the input delayed by 64 samples.
