It must be something in the water. :-P

So... Why couldn't session states be saved as part of JACK? I realize it 
can be argued that it isn't within the scope of JACK, but... Isn't it, 
kinda? It's an important feature, and it has to get implemented *somewhere*.

Of course, it makes the most sense that session states should be saved 
and recalled by the host. Isn't that also a part of what LASH is trying 
to accomplish? Unfortunately, I have to plead ignorance here, as I'm no 
coder, just a math head trying to make some new plug-ins, and getting 
nowhere, I might add.

I still regard LV2 as a potentially powerful system for creating and 
handling virtual instruments and effects, but the right extensions 
(events and MIDI, and UI) would have to be implemented by the popular 
hosts. That's my largely ignorant opinion, anyway.
