This is actually a current problem with spiralsynthmodular, the sampler is rt
safe, except when loading/saving samples. I'm thinking that it's solvable by
using a async loader on a different thread that the plugin can poll. As long
as it does something sane until the sample is loaded (play silence) it should
be Ok.
At the moment, you get chucked off jack when loading large samples.

So how do VST effects do it? I can increase the
delay feedback all I like and
it doesn't hiccup, stutter, or misbehave at all. You're saying that this is
a non-rt control because it might have to realloc() buffers?
Delay feedback is a RT control, delay time might not be (depending
on how its implemented).
I'm not sure how this can be handled easily, there are lots of
things like loading samples that will be impossible to handle in an
RT way, but I'm not sure that something like a sampler belongs in
this kind of API. I know there are VSTi samplers, but windows people
dont have jack.
