	-- The following code is needed with "dsp_runmap" to work for arbitrary pin connections
	-- this passes though all audio/midi data unprocessed.

	ARDOUR.DSP.process_map (bufs, in_map, out_map, n_samples, offset, ARDOUR.DataType ("audio"))
	ARDOUR.DSP.process_map (bufs, in_map, out_map, n_samples, offset, ARDOUR.DataType ("midi"))

	-- equivalent lua code.
	-- NOTE: the lua implementation below is intended for io-config [-1,-1].
	-- It only works for actually mapped channels due to in_map:count() out_map:count()
	-- being identical to the i/o pin count in this case.
	--
	-- Plugins that have multiple possible configurations will need to implement
	-- dsp_configure() and remember the actual channel count.
	--
	-- ARDOUR.DSP.process_map() does iterate over the mapping itself and works generally.
	-- Still the lua code below does lend itself as elaborate example.
