Interesting, I'll start experimenting with that.

The problem here is that whatever the plugin
inputs is not seen or recorded by Ardour
(or I must be missing some very clever trick).

In this case there's no delay - the plugins have a shared
memory interface to the application they are controlling.
OSC could be used as input (i.e. recording automation), if
I can make Ardour use this instead of the GUI elements it
creates for the plugins.

Thanks for the ideas !
