I mean, this is like saying "I can draw a lighted 3D cube with these 10 lines of OpenGL immediate mode, what do I need this 500 line Vulkan example for". And that's true!

It also misses the point, because, as with Vulkan, you just want a stable, sane, fast low-level API to access the hardware because OpenGL immediate mode doesn't get you beyond kindergarten in todays computer graphics. In audio, that is a sample-level API. Everything else should be handled by the application!

You can still make a source/sink directed graph system with components like "oscillators". In a fricking library!
