2.1 all existing LADSPA hosts except "applyplugin" already have their own
connections to audio interfaces.
2.2 most hosts have design restrictions on how they interact with
audio interfaces.
2.3 most hosts use some aspect of the behaviour an audio interface to
schedule their own execution, in ways that LADSPA cannot
represent.
its therefore a little silly to write LADSPA plugins to take on such
fundamental roles. it would be a bit like writing a VST plugin that
attempted to fill the role that ASIO does.
