for DSSI, this seems great. but for LADSPA it seems like a major
change in philosophy, one that would turn LADSPA into DSSI. i am not
opposed to that, in fact i think its a fairly good idea, but i think
we need to be clear about that if that is in fact the general idea.

yeah, returning an XID sounds like a nice touch there.

btw, i guess we should get busy with LADSPA v2 soon, eh?
