I think all of these are possible, but at the same time, these are
just variants of things that do already exist. I agree that finding an
efficient tap would be a good idea (I'll look into it), but converting
between time and samples is pretty easy math. Making a new UGen for it
seems like a bit of overkill.
I think the main reason behind using times instead of samples and
decaytime instead of feedback has to do making code that will easily
move between sample rates. Samples and feedback would drastically
change how a delay would react between different sample rates, so it
is much safer to use the current UGens.
With that in mind, if you really do think that you need a delay with
samples instead of time, it would be easy to make (actually easier
then the ones we currently have)... feedback and decaytime as well.
How do others feel?
