I don't think there is any reason to get so carried away about it. I think we
all would love if the big dragons would start developing ladspa compatible
plugins for linux. If they ever do, they WILL be closed source I bet you. For me
this does not matter at all. Especially since the ladspa interface is so simple
it is very unlikely compatibility will be a problem.
