I think there was one more too, but I can't think what it was...
I agree AUDIO_RATE_CONTROL should be renamed.
There was a suggestion on ardour-dev that a hint to say whether control outs
were supposed to be informative or a source of control data might help,
but I'm not sure about it.
Does someone want to reword these in a more meaningful way? If not I'l do
it, then you'l be sorry ;).
