works because int2float puts out float data and float2int accepts float
data.

doesn't work because volume works on integer data and int2float serves
float data.  volume can be made to work with float, but then someone
needs to do it.

This ought to work in theory.  Dave, anything wrong with this ?

works because ladspa operates on float data.

Try with different schedulers and see what it gives (--gst-help should
tell you how)

Well, apart from the last pipeline none of your previous ones actually
do anything useful.  Maybe tell us what it is in the end you want to get
to work ?

Why do we use computers ? Abacuses and clay tablets work fine :)
Throwing out huge chunks that work just because they're int and you
don't like int won't help us much ... Let's focus on what you want to do
and get that to work.
