Please don't.
Plugin ports are only valid during run, which means the plugin can only
send such message during run.
If you have a host like ardour or carla that splits the processing into
smaller blocks this will get very ugly.
Sending some dirty flag to the host is fine. Attempting to change some
input port value is not.
This is simple.
If you have some internal data that the plugin needs to modify during
run - don't export that data to the host.
