That's why separating the GUI from the audio engine is so important. I sort
of agree that 10000 lines of irreducible GUI+audio code would probably be
unmaintainable. On the other hand, 5000 lines of audio code plus 5000 lines
of GUI code, communicating through a smallish, well-defined interface,
wouldn't be a problem at all.
