[Haskell-cafe] Haskell audio libraries & audio formats

[John Van Enk]

I think the problem I'll run into is the 128 channel case. I'm hoping for a
general solution... I'm almost positive this will require runtime checks.
Your solution is what I was thinking for functions requiring exactly N
channels (I'm not sure if there are many functions like that).
