32 // IAudioOpFactory.h
33 // * PURPOSE
34 // An interface to an 'algorithm finder' object. Implementations
35 // of IAudioOpFactory are given format and parameter information,
36 // and are required to return the best-matching algorithm (IAudioOp
37 // implementation) -- or 0 if no algorithm can handle the given
38 // formats.
40 // One subclass of IAudioOpFactory should exist for each
41 // algorithm family, since create() provides no way to select a
42 // particular algorithm. The stock create() should produce an
43 // operation initialized to acceptible defaults, but you can
44 // always overload create() to provide more options.
46 // * UP IN THE AIR +++++
47 // - query mechanism -- determine if a format/parameter change
48 // will require an algorithm switch?
49 // - explicit parameter support? seems a better approach than
50 // overloading the create() method with parameters for each
51 // type of filter operation... ?
53 // * HISTORY
54 // e.moon 26aug99 Begun.
