>So why not use normal integers ?
* not quicker than float on moderately recent hardware
* much harder to implement (filters, fx, envelope, lfo) due to finite
dynamic range
* unreadable code
* requires post-conversion code in recent audio environments
(ladspa, jack, vst etc)
* a bitch to maintain
* a bitch to expand
to name a few.
