even without a GUI e.g. if it were responding to OSC.

I believe an AU Generator will give you that. Sadly only Logic supports them.

Once you have done that, any further "rendering" by that AU is wasted CPU cycles until you have new data to give it.

I would say that hosts additionally need to check to see if the instrument's GUI is open and has focus - if the GUI is open and it has focus, it could make a sound *without* the host being involved at all. Patch browser previewing or onscreen keyboards are commonplace and even pretty much standard these days - they're certainly far too commnplace to be broken in any given host.

It is designed to be inserted on an Input channel strip so (in Logic at least) its Render function is called continously. I probably shouldn't rely on that, so it'd be nice if there was a property I could set that declared "this AU needs continous rendering".
