Re: pull model, an alternative to supporting pull

say that such plugins should act as hosts.
That's not much better than not having a plugin API at all. To
support direct-from-disk sampling, the host would have to be a
*sampler*. Why have an *instrument* plugin API, then? It doesn't make
much sense to me to run synths inside a sampler... :-)
But... running synths inside a granular synthesizer makes sense. Besides,
it's not just an instrument API, there's bound to be a white noise plugin
:).
