split audio buffers and array-of-atoms? maybe this could include
rewriting the whole audio buffers with an asynchronous interface ...
imo, data structures and audio buffer have completely different
real-time and performance constraints, so i see no real benefit in
combining both concepts ...

well, one should still tweak the sse unit by setting the daz/ftz
flags ... see the code that is enabled by the preprocessor symbol DAZ in
s_main.c of devel_0_39 ...
