It's a library. It solved our problems at the time, years ago. It's still used in production and piping billions of audio minutes per month through it. You don't have to use it, I merely referred to it as an example. A similar library is proposed to be included in C++23: https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2023/p23...

there are tons of overengineered unmaintainable code in prod, it doesn't mean I need to follow them as example without much justification.

hm, I went through the code example, and would prefer my current approach as a much simpler and readable.
