Huge feature in my opinion, and I can't see why it should be impossible.
I think it's really just the mystery that surrounds it. It was pretty confusing to me, too, and I imagine to many others.

I certainly have a few questions about it... How exactly does it keep latency low? If output buffer is automatic, then will latency be dynamic? What kind of latency should we expect? If we set the input buffer to 32, can we expect a consistently low input delay even with a large session? Does this really mean the end of CPU spikes and error messages? Is there any other hidden cost like artifacts?
