Agreed. Furthermore if there *is* a single clock for the built-in input and
output, then there should be a device available with a unified IOProc.
The complexity of the general case should not be an excuse to unecessarily
complicate (and add latency to) the common case.
After all, we do get this with ASIO for the built in audio in MacOS9.
