yes of course there is¹.
the problem is, that it is none of your object's business and you cannot
make any assumptions beforehand.

what you can do is check at runtime - in the dsp function - whether you
have recycled signals, and call optimized code if not; but in any case
you need to cater for the case that all signals actually refer to the
same memory.

to cut this short: i think i'm not adding any additional information to
what you already know, just expressing it in complicated terms.
