gosh, i'm just writing a library for video plugins, inspired to LADSPA
"inspired" means that it is about a simple header, which doesn't
requires a library. see
http://livido.dyne.org/livido-22apr04.tar.gz
we are allready quite some people focusing on it, from different
emerging video applications as FreeJ, VeeJay, PD/PDP, LiVES
what do you say guys, on the long term it's really bad to have this
header-oriented spec? or you're doing the change just now that everybody
joined the train, wouldn't have been a good choice since the beginning? ;>
i'm not provoking, i'm just trying to learn :)
from what i could really understand from this thread. the header/lib
dependency is the main thing which differentiates the LADSPA v1 from v2,
seen from an architectural point of view.
would have been a good choice since the beginning, to have it as a lib?
thanks & respect,
