Unfortunately what is suggested so far for various alternatives involves
that the host has to be rewritten each time something new comes up.
I don't like that trend. It means a lot of maintenance work if one wants
to use new features.

So, can LADSPA plug-in read input way earlier than outputting anything?
Or is it assumed that as soon as inputs and outputs are connected they
read and write stuff?
