You're probably right about this. But if I implement all I need using only the
existing LADSPA interfaces, then at least one of the the following would be
true:

- the resulting modules would be technically compliant with the standard, but
completely useless outside the AMS host, as there would be a lot of ports that
carry AMS-specific data.

- or the LADSPA compliant part would only contain *part* of a module (i.e. only
the audio processing), and in that case nothing is gained, as LADSPA is used 
only as an internal interface. In fact this would just complicate module 
inplementation.
