I did a similar thing also, in perl (yuk). I'm not convinced its actually
faster the blocked processing in the general case, but this may be one
where it is.

NB SAOL/sfront uses the same technique, so we could possibly use that,
and its language is more appropriate to blockless signal processing than C
is.

Mine also, but the level of blocks that were real C code are very tiny
(like + and *) everything else was built out of subgraphs.

OTOH the other advantage of blockless processing (very low latency in
feedback loops) is pretty irrelevent for samplers.
