I don't think that there's a single AU host that provides compositing
windows for AUCarbonViews. Hardly any AUs out there have AUCarbonViews
that work correctly in compositing windows. I wish that this had been
specified from the start, that AUCarbonView windows must be
compositing, or at least the views should support compositing, cuz
compositing windows work much better. But unfortunately now there's a
situation where we're probably not going to be seeing hosts use
compositing Carbon windows for a long time cuz of widespread
non-support among AUCarbonViews...

I just spend the last couple of month converting my Cocoa UI to Carbon
with the help of AUGUI and a lot of custom HIView stuff,
i felt i had to abandon the Cocoa UI since there was to few hosts and
the behavior was not the same across Cocoa UI hosts,
i even had a way of using Cocoa UI in Carbon only hosts.
Even though it was a very good learning experience there was a lot of
reinventing the wheel compared to using Cocoa.
While testing i used the AudioUnitHosting.app that only supports non
compositing windows and i also tested with Logic
and a few other hosts and everything was fine, but before releasing i
just checked with compositing on and it was not working :(
so a list with what type of UI the hosts use would be a very nice aid
in determining what to support.
The best thing would of course be if there was only one type of GUI ,
since the GUI is the most time consuming part of an AU, it's
very difficult to maintain several different types with small hacks
for all the different hosts.
