You've read the docs correctly as it is not possible to add nor remove
audio inputs/outputs during processing. There are, however, a few ways
around this limitation:
- add all inputs you want to use to the setup and using muting (c-mute)
or amplifier objects (-ea:x + cop-set) to select which one
is audible at any given moment; this is possible as cop-set
and c-mute are rt-safe commands
- write a new audio object type that is able to multiplex inputs
(so something like the current .ewf format); requires C++ hacking
