I followed you up to this paragraph.  LADSPA started it, DSSI improved
on it, and LV2 tried to be the end-all-be-all (the final solution) if
I'm understanding correctly.  Oh, and VAMP is sort of a side-show
freak.  But can you explain what you mean here, "assuming that both
parties can agree on it"?
