Excuse my ignorance, but is this practical to use in real time embedded DSP analog hybrid systems like ±5v eurorack modules?


That would be really cool. A default compile of Soundpipe contains modules that only use libsndfile (95% of the code doesn't actually depend on this), c99 C and memset, malloc, and free from stdlib. I'd like to think that this opens up a possibility for embedded systems, but I really don't know.

I can tell you that have friends who sell commercial modules that run off a Raspberry Pi which use Csound and PD. I've tested Soundpipe on a Pi, and my initial tests show that Soundpipe can perform better or equal to Csound. So, if you're using some sort of embedded Linux system this is definitely conceivable.
