comment Vectorized audio? Does it exist? Its pros and cons? Which formats?
Maybe it was a bit rambling, but I did turn up the only external link describing a way to represent audio with splines. I think I answered the OP's 1st and 3rd question.

comment Should I use 44.1KHz, 48KHz or 96KHZ sampling frequency for hobby projects?
Ian C.: A sampled function is not continuous. It approximates a continuous function if the sampling frequency is high enough.

+1 for this answer. Moving between perfectly-divisible sampling frequencies doesn't introduce any aliasing. Moving from 48kHz to 44.1kHz creates lots of aliasing artifacts that must be compensated for by the resampling algorithm. Just avoid it.

By "bit rate", I think you actually mean "bit depth". Bit rate usually refers to the overall quantity of data per second (the bit depth multiplied by the sampling frequency, multiplied by the compression factor, if any)

comment Any plugins out there using GPGPU/CUDA/OpenCL for horsepower?
This is a great find. Thanks!

comment Mic level or line level for long runs?
@endolith: I have balanced 1/4" jacks on various rack gear in my rig, and my own 4' snake which converts them all to XLR. I give the sound guy the XLR end to plug into his stage snake to go back to his mixing desk. The correct way is probably to give line level. However, I've found that a happy sound guy is more important for my sound quality than correct gain structure.

I've run into this as well. I get to a gig and give the soundguy my 5 channels of balanced line levels, and he invariably grumbles that they're way too hot and that I don't know what I'm doing. I've concluded that they just always assume everything coming from the stage is mic level, so now I pad them with -12dB.
