Subject: [linux-audio-dev] LADSPA Update, New Project (CMT) & Help Requested

I've updated the LADSPA SDK a little. It's now on version 1.03. [Not to be
confused with the LADSPA API itself which remains at version 1.] There is
now some more online documentation at
http://www.muse.demon.co.uk/ladspa.html, a bugfix to applyplugin, there are
now ten example plugins (more than I'd intended) and the two example hosts
have a few tweaks and now support the LADSPA_PATH environment variable.
I've also started a new project, the CMT (Computer Music Toolkit - bad name
- any suggestions?). This is a C++ LADSPA plugin library under GPL. This is
at an extremely early stage and so far contains about thirty plugins of
varying usefulness and a nice simple infrastructure to make further coding
straightforward. The motivation is that now we have hosts prepared to host
LADSPA plugins, it's about time we started producing some decent plugins
for them! The library can be seen at
http://www.muse.demon.co.uk/cmt/index.html.
I was hoping people could help out on the following points:
(1) Are the developers out there who fancy WRITING PLUGINS or processing
algorithms (or just porting them) but don't want the hassle of writing and
publishing an independent plugin library? If so, additions to CMT are easy
to make and would be warmly received. I'm hoping there will be concrete
interest in this. There's plenty of scope: at the moment there's nothing
more complex than a compressor in there. Perhaps I should set up a Source
Forge account?
(2) I'd be interested to know which hosts are now supporting LADSPA and
which hosts are planning to so that I can produce some 'road map'
documentation for LADSPA.
((3) LADSPA needs better user and development documentation.)
