They actually make *more* sence as an audio format, since there, it
can have a real effect on performance. That's only really relevant
for old or low end hardware, though. (That's why Audiality does it -
but only in the real time synth. I'm simply not motivated enough to
implement the off-line oscillators in fixed point... *heh*)

I can't
think of any example. It's just more bits, basically.
Frankly, that's the only strong motivation I see for ints at all,
since if you just need an integer *value*, float should do. (Just
disable rounding.)
Agreed, I'm still not convinced that ints need to be there at all
