Thanks for stepping in on that ticket as well btw.

It would be great to evaluate whether this can be linked dynamically
(or statically) against faust. It's not super nice to build the entire
kitchen sink with this every time ;-)

I see that upstream uses a separate cmake file to set up the vendored
faust to only compile libfaust.a [1] and link against that. However this
is part of the faust package of course and it would be nice to be able
to reuse it.

Faust does not come with a pkgconfig integration unfortunately, but
maybe we can find a way to link this together more nicely and reuse some
code?

Best,
David
