Perhaps what I'm about to say is incredibly stupid ( , I'm not an expert on
dynamic linking ) , but aren't these ALSA plugins linked with libasound?
Wouldn't that make libasound available to the plugins? I'm using pthreads
and realtime stuff in my plugins and this works even when the application
that loads the plugins doesn't use it and is not linked to it.
