Yes, actually i was sure that the way i get the presets list displayed is
anything but not legal :)) But i didn't find any better way by looking at
ladspa.h (and the whole ladspa sdk), so this was the best i could think
of at the moment...

Certainly no... i have to apologise, because there certainly has to be a
better way than this that i don't know of at the moment.
Sorry for that, i know it's wrong and i'm seeking for solutions.
