right, that's exactly why we need more hints in LADSPA. No (or very few)
hints only works in a filter network, where the user knows exactly what
they're doing and plugs everything together manually. As soon as the app
tries to help out, the plugins need hints.
so, please join the campaign for more hints in ladspa, brother!
