Sure. I guess I don't know what I'm saying :D other than the question: what do we reasonably need? Does the current solution work or is the next step required?

This would be a fantastic boost for the ability to extend what we can already do with Pd as an audio processing engine, separated from its native GUI. Locking may be necessary in places, but then that is extremely fast these days.
