that's not it. i think steve is referring to my work on "LCP", the
LADSPA control protocol, which allows developers to write GUIs with
whatever toolkit they wish, but still have control over the LADSPA
plugin they represent.
there is no documentation; the source lives at
http://www.op.net/~pbd/lcp-0.2.0.tar.gz
steve has used it to write GUIs for two of his more complex LADSPA
plugins.
if you search the archives, i think you will find that defining a
toolkit is pretty much a lost cause under Linux. i was all ready to
implement the VSTGUI for Linux (via GTK), but the more i reflected
upon it, no such solution will work for us, IMHO.
i am also the primary author of the LADSPA XML GUI DTD that is
mentioned here, but i'm not sure its worth pursuing.
