For the record -- since this is something I've tried to search for in
the past and have had trouble finding a definitive answer to -- the
conventional LADSPA port name is apparently "latency", with no
underscore.

Some hosts (such as Rosegarden) will accept either "latency" or
"_latency"; in RG's case that's because I wasn't sure which was
supposed to be correct when I coded it.  But others (such as Ardour)
will only accept "latency", as I discovered when I released a plugin
that used "_latency" and forgot to test it in Ardour first.
