Hmmm, yes. Didn't know about that. It doesnt show up on the first few
pages of google results, but it is there. The last mention I can see is in
1999: http://www.sfu.ca/~truax/podwork.html

There's bascially a choice between choosing a crap name, and treading on
someones toes slightly. It doesn't seem like a LADSPA POD plugin format
would steal any thunder from Truax.
