Well, since there is no shared codebase between SoX_ng and
the VST SoX-Plugins, I have to keep up with you somehow.

A simple solution would be to just use SoX_ng as a library
and only provide a graphical DAW interface.  However, since
I have invested so much time in the C++ renovation of the
original SoX code, I do not want to just throw that work
away.  And in my opinion, that would also be unsportsmanlike
;-)

Nevertheless, your implementation is the reference and
although I am not copying it, I need to ensure that the
output of my implementation does not differ too much from it
(the often-mentioned acceptable difference of -100dB between
the signals).

But in summary: keep up the good work!


	Best regards,
