Using liveadder

[Oly]

I guess multiple pipelines would be an option, wonder what latency that may
have creating loading converting. Also does not seem that efficient seems
the ideal would be to load convert and reuse the converted audio from
memory. I do plan on storing the output at some point. For now best I can
describe is like a mobile phone / guitar app that mixes the notes together
but the notes are audio files that should give a good idea of the sort of
pipeline I am after :)
