As a general point (rather than specific to ASIO), I agree.

All effects now use the same input validation. This has pros and cons. Before we had this validation, Nyquist plug-ins would accept input beyond the specified control range. This has required that several plug-ins have had to have their "legal" input range updated. We can easily do that fo...

When the wiki says Audacity supports ASIO (when recompiled), to me that implies both recording and playback. When compiled with ASIO, Audacity can use ASIO for both recording and playback. That is not where the 2 channel limit comes from. Audacity is limited to a maximum of 2 channel playback regar...

(the best for me will be every 0.5 or 1 sec) That seems to contradict what you described here: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=283690#p283690 If you zoom in close on the waveform you will see that it is constantly going up and down. If you simply take the values of samples at arbitrar...

You mean that you want to "amplify by -50 dB" ?
That cannot be set as the default, but if you are using the effect several times in a row then use can use Ctrl+R to repeat the effect.

What's the job that requires this?

Sometimes it's necessary to INSERT a small 'space' or silences into the audio, but I need to have ALL the Labels to the right of the insertion move accordingly, but having trouble figuring what to select for the source segment, and how to paste into the audio so the LABELS will shift downstream. Ra...

What criteria does Audacity used to determine a RED clip indication? (this is going OT) Because Integer formats (16-bit and 24-bit) have an absolute ceiling of 0 dB, if Audacity looked for "over 0 dB", then it would never show clipping for integer format tracks. So what Audacity does is t...

You've not said what you are doing with the data. Do you really need to modify the plug-in? Why not just ignore all of the values that you don't need?

I think I see what you mean. It would be quite easy to make the plug-in output every n'th sample (example, every 100th sample), but that's probably not going to give you what you want, unless the peaks are evenly spaced at intervals of a known number of samples. What Sample Data Export is designed t...

"Sample Data Export" exports sequential samples. It is a "Nyquist" plug-in (http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Nyqui ... _Reference) so it is possible for users to modify it.
What exactly are you trying to do?
