I think it would be possibel to write a VST wrapper for example (I don't
know enough about the others), but you would loose functionality, and the
plugins would have to be recompiled.
On the subject I realised the other day that I placed my plugins under
the GPL, IIRC that means that they couldn;t be used by a non gpl
compatible app, not quite what I intended, but, oh well. I don't think
there are any non gpl ladspa hosts anyway, anyone whow what licence pd is
under?

LADSPA's not really useful for softsynths (yet), no UI and no MIDI support.
