your audio backend might support double floats
(e.g. jackd is prepared for that already, though i don't known whether
anybody ever used it that way).

Thanks for pointing to that. Anyway some sort of galvanic separation between arrays with t_sample and arrays passed from/to audio API must be introduced, in case they need be of different (primitive) type. PortAudio does not currently support 64 bit samples, for one thing. My first concern is to hear decent sound coming out of double precision Pd, that would really make me happy for a while.....
