Architecture

The AudioMatrix contains Tracks, which each contain Modules, which do the actual audio processing.

During construction of the Tracks, the AudioMatrix passes a shared pointer to the OSC server thread to each Track. This pointer is in turn passed to the modules in order for them to be able to receive OSC messages.

During initalization, the AudioMatrix initializes each Track. The Track in turn iterates over all Modules, each Module returns its number of output channels depending on the amount of input channels it gets. The number of output channels of each Track is added up, so the AudioMatrix can report the amount of JACK ports that need to be opened to the JackClient

Actual buffers get reserved during the prepare stage, which follows the same logic as the initalization stage.

During processing, the input channels are passed into each Track. The Track starts by copying the input buffers into its own m_buffer. Then, each Module uses its process() function on this buffer. At the end of the processing stage the amount of output channels earlier declared by this track are copied from the m_buffer into the main output buffer out.
