-Indicates that the plugin is capable of running not only in a conventional host
-but also in a "hard real-time" environment. To qualify for this the plugin MUST
-satisfy all of the following:
-
-    (1) The plugin must not use malloc(), free() or other heap memory
-    management within its Audio class functions. All new memory used in 
-    Audio class functions must be managed via the stack. These restrictions 
-    only apply to the Audio class functions.
-
-    (2) The plugin will not attempt to make use of any library
-    functions in its Audio class functions, with the exceptions of functions 
-    in the ANSI standard C and C maths libraries, which the host is expected to
-    provide.

-    (3) The plugin will not access files, devices, pipes, sockets, IPC
-    or any other mechanism that might result in process or thread
-    blocking within its Audio class functions.

-    approximately of form (A+B*SampleCount) where A and B depend on the 
-    machine and host in use. This amount of time may not depend on input
-    signals or plugin state. The host is left the responsibility to perform
