Thanks for all of the explanations, Bill, this all makes much more sense
now.

That sounds much better. The previous way would likely lead to much
needless memory copying.

So an element/bus is a stream of potentially interleaved audio streams
then (interleaved if there's more than one channel)? So "channels" as I
was talking about are contained within a bus, and then buses represent
distinct destinations and sources of those streams? I think I've got it
now... :)

Thanks,
Marc
