Just a little question here, do you have an idea how you'll handle
frame delays in the chain. Ie if the chain is split into two parts
who are merged later again. One is a direct connection (0 delay)
and the other does some fancy computation where it needs a few
frames in advance to compute a frame (x frames delay).
Ie here you'd have not only to store x frames on the 0 delay
chain but also to realize that these two chainse have different
delays and that you have to pass more frames to one side to get
one frame out at the merge point.
It gets even complicater if you have 2 different sources
providing 2 chains with different delays which are merged
together at the end.

Or is this already handled ?
