I was very impressed by the XML representation of LADSPA plugins
presented by Steve Harris at the LAD conference last weekend. He writes
the code and parameter specifications of his LADSPA plugins in XML and
then converts ("compiles") them to the C code according to ladspa.h.
What I like about this solution is that it would not only allow to share
modules among the many softsynths, but it could also be used to solve the
GUI/Toolkit problem. Namely one could also express the GUI layout
information in XML. People can then "compile" the XML files and get both
the module's DSP code in the format appropriate for their synth and also
the GUI code for the Toolkit (e.g. QT ot GTK) of their choice.
