It is possible to make it hard real time, by imposing a max heap 
size, which is reasonable for audio.

You need to use a garbage collector of some sort, either language 
level or application level if your application allows the user to 
build a graph. Which is some creative audio applications does 
(including audio programming languages).

If you can get away with using a language level collector then 
that will be the cheaper option. To get there you need to take a 
niche-approach like he does.
