There is nothing problems in including them. As I minute ago mailed,
it is even possible to allow arbitrary types if programmer of plug-ins
provide conversion plug-ins for his own system.
If you really want go for limited path, choose 64-bit float for signal
transmission.
Scope of LADSPA.. my ass! :)
Sure different plug-in layers are must, but it just happen to be that
LADSPA is **the** layer where different data types should be provided.
So, my suggestion is:
Don't fix the types as enumerated numbers, use string names instead.
I guess no other changes need to be done to allow the improved system.
Comments?
