[PD] parallel processing

[marius schebella]

isn't the problem of pd right now, that the audio chain can't be chopped 
into different threads?
if the pd audio chain would support threads for every object, would it 
be as easy as to add a (or some) line(s) of code for every dsp object?
is it correct that some soundcards compute part of the audio chain on 
the soundchip? which parts?
I only ask out of interest, I would not be able to implement any of the 
solutions :(, so feel free to ignore the questions, if you think this is 
more a developer discussion and to much theoretical right now...
