I figured, but if you actually remove Gem, somehow, sound stops, so it is
part of the implementation somehow I guess.

yeah, doesn't seem so, but it's gotta be related somehow, right?

I guess it depends on each case, sometimes (I actually think most of the
times) I do offer something different (with more features) and better
resolved, other times it's something simple that doesn't make much sense to
require a dependency, but nowadays, with plugdata, there's always an excuse
or actual requirement to add something (and I am thinking now of the time
and date alternatives that I didn't need or want myself, but someone
requested for plugdata).
