Horay, I'l dust off my LCP code. We still need to solve the service
discovery problem, but that is mild.

I think the IPC between UI and DSP has another advantage, it ensures that
the host can do reliable automation, as it forces the UI to serialise all
the control data and expose it to the host.

Ofcourse its easier in LADSPA as it has a simple, very regular control
scheme.
