Hrm, I wouldn't call those FLOPs, since the operations aren't discrete floating point operations under direct control. Those graphics primitives are extremely limited in scope to 3D transformations and various median/anisotropic filtering "calculations". Remember also, that destroying information is a deliberately permitted aspect of these "calculations". None of the GPU operations are required to be reversible. There are probably some operations which could be exploited for audio purposes, but it would be very narrow in what kinds of things you could do with them. =MB= -- A focus on Quality.
