Well - why not just extend struct LADSPA_Descriptor by

  /* This member indicates an array of default values for the ports,
     if LADSPA_HINT_HAS_DEFAULTS is set. Valid indices vary from 0
     to PortCount-1. */
  float * PortDefaults;

Simple, much less cludgy, but still sucks in my opinion - but the only
kind of short term solution I'd give my personal ok to (not that this
matters).

Btw. Steve - hows RTF (sp?) going?

Richard.
