Yes, I agree that the speed difference between the swapping and the
no-swapping case is negligible, but I'm talking about CPU cycles.

With libsndfile people do stream 10, 20 or more channels of audio
off disk at once, with soft realtime requirements. In situations
like this, avoiding the CPU cycles of end swapping is probably a
good idea.
