I now of LADSPA, DSSI and LV2. None of them comes close to
what is required. Which are the others (apart from Csound
opcodes etc.) ?

It could be done as an LV2 extension (LV2, like the Borg,
could assimilate anything), but nothing is gained by doing
that - it just complicates things. Only the discovery
mechanism would remain, and it is widely known that I don't
much like anything that even looks like XML.

There are number of fundamental differences between existing
Linux plugin systems and the one I'm working on, so as far as
I can see the answer to your question is positive.

Ciao,
