Yes, I was thinking of a jack client - recent versions of Port Audio
support JACK I think - the advantage over a LADSPA plugin is that you can
code the UI, whereas LADSPA plugins (currently) have no UI specification.
Large multiband EQs and parametrics really need a custom UI to be useful
IMHO. EQ was only an example though - I'm sure there are plenty of other
useful projects.
