Oh, architecturally speaking, it's not hard at all.  You know all  
those matrix mixers?  AUs.  Plugging in other AUs is straightforward  
with the current design, at least as far as the underlying engine goes.

The time-consuming bit is creating the interface for it to handle any  
ol' AU.  And testing.

But I've always planned on adding AU support.  If nothing else, I  
want to at LEAST drop in some controls for an EQ AU, a pitch-bend AU,  
etc.

The magic ingredient is, as always, time.  ;)
