Hm. That's what I feared. Unfortunately, the nested approach won't
work because it doesn't get rid of the central problem, namely that
the amount of busses per track is usually limited to 8, whereas I need
to output 16 channels in total.
Theoretically, couldn't an AU sign up as a listener for another AU's
parameter changes?
