* substantial enhancements to time stretcher:
  -- use putInput/getOutput methods to ensure the audio source always feeds
     it enough input, avoiding underruns due to rounding error
  -- add a percussion detector and an optional "Sharpen" toggle to the main
     window, which invokes a very basic variable speed timestretcher

 * A Transform turns one data model into another.
 *
 * Typically in this application, a Transform might have a
 * DenseTimeValueModel as its input (e.g. an audio waveform) and a
 * SparseOneDimensionalModel (e.g. detected beats) as its output.
 *
 * The Transform typically runs in the background, as a separate
 * thread populating the output model.  The model is available to the
 * user of the Transform immediately, but may be initially empty until
 * the background thread has populated it.
