[Ardour-Dev] Banking on a surface

[Melanie Bernkopf]

100% agree with you. It should be more than save and I belive it would even
be save on a miss configured network.

Sorry for being a bit picky on that subject but saw quite some crazy stuff.

Yes bundling makes sense I think this should be the way to go :)
