I don't think it's a bad idea, but similarly I don't think it will be
implemented because LADSPA's simplicity is it's strength. You don't
want to be in the situation where things get ugly, but you can't fix
the spec because you have lots of legacy apps relying on the ugly stuff
(see: dos). You're probably better off using your own slightly modified
spec that stays close to LADSPA, and encapsulate LADSPA in this spec at
your end. This will keep it in a form that can be ported to whatever
complex arch. prevails when the time comes, while not losing compatibility
with current plugins. Can't see a way to solve the problem of getting
your plugins to work with other hosts thru LADSPA though :(
Cheers,
Daniel.
