[CLAM] AudioPorts Usage

[Xavier Amatriain]

I guess you are implementing a vst plugin or something similar, right? 
If so, you can either write the samples to a CLAM::Audio object on each 
call to the Process function or (better) write them to an independent 
Outport that you can connect to the SpectralAnalysis Inport. I recommend 
you read this other thread on the CLAM mailing list:

http://iua-mail.upf.es/mailman/public-archives/clam/msg00435.html

BTW, in any case if you are writing a vst plugin, the real problem is 
how to adapt the size of the incoming buffer to the one configured at 
the Spectral Analysis. We have a couple of working implementations but 
none of them are clean enough so as to be in the main distribution. All 
of them are loosely based on Stephan Letz's very interesting article 
"Callback Adaptation Techniques" [1]
