In that case there is a bug in AudioTwingTwang, its as simple as that. I
have no idea why people think they can get away with releasing
non-conformant plugins *cough* ;) In many ways its worse than release
buggy apps, because it can bring down other peoples software.

Valid 1.0 LADSPA plugins are also valid 1.1 plugins. 1.2 should follow
this trend.
