I'm a relative newcomer here, but my initial reaction was "that's all?".
I'm all for incremental, backwards-compatible changes, but sometimes things
get over-engineered for the sake of compatibility.
For the record, I am working on an alternative (perhaps wrapper is the best
description) API that does what LADSPA does, and more, in what I view as a
simpler and more cohesive way. I'll post it for shits-and-giggles when it
is ready. The idea being that you can write a very simple plugin that
handles all the complexity of LADSPA compatibility, polyphony, etc. and
still presents a simple API to the host.
<shrug> maybe it is useless, but I like the problem set.

p.s. - I've tentatively called it OPI - Open Plugin Interface. and 'cuz I
always liked Andy Griffith :)
