A reduced sample rate means less bandwidth. It

this just needs a minor re-use of the existing midi port type.
drobilla always felt that it was questionable that we called this
stuff "midi" at all, because 95% of the infrastructure is about
handling sample accurate events, and is utterly agnostic about the
contents.
We may not be talking of the same thing. This is not about
'generic events' but about reduced-bandwidth continuous
signals, represented as floating point samples. So I'd say
that all it takes is a shorter version of the standard
_audio_ buffer.
The last paragraph in my previous post just hinted at the
possibility that even such low-bandwidth 'analog' signals
can represent discrete events with infinite timing accuracy,
and in a way that would e.g. survive operations such as
mixing or resampling.
