I/O buffers in Ext. renderer

Looking at the external renderer application (function main() in renderer.c), there is the following block:

    inpInt16Buffer = count_malloc( inBufferSize * sizeof( int16_t ) );
    inFloatBuffer = count_malloc( inBufferSize * sizeof( float ) );
    outInt16Buffer = count_malloc( outBufferSize * sizeof( int16_t ) );
    outFloatBuffer = count_malloc( outBufferSize * sizeof( float ) );

First, I think that the memory does not need to be counted for the renderer application, similarly as in encoder/decoder application.

Then, if the logic from encoder/decoder is followed in the renderer application, I think that the float buffers should be allocated in the library (lib_rend). Consequently, I would expect that convertInputBuffer() / convertOutputBuffer() are part of the library.

Or, do we want to follow the renderer application logic in the encoder/decoder application?
