we have one significant advantage over gmpi...
they (the commercial developers) can not distribute their source.
if we find a way to compile an XAP plugins into 1 frame processing code,
and galan-plugin, and ams plugin, and LADSPA etc...
something similar to your xml-ladspa but for all formats and machines...
there should be methods to get a gtk, qt or fltk widget from a plugin.
and this nice totally abstract port concept.
just some thoughts....
