This is starting to sound to me like an argument that we oughtn't
settle on a particular compressor at all within the core SAOL
functionality, since applications will differ so widely in the
functionality
they need.

If so, it's probably best just to dump the broken ones that are in
the spec (not implemented yet) now. Arguments?
