If you mean the LADSPA plugin, I don't see the problem: Ardour
will automatically duplicate it if you use it in a stereo track
or bus.

The plugin is frozen as far as I'm concerned, as there
are some new ones in preparation - see for example
<http://www.kokkinizita.net/linuxaudio/eq1.png>.
This one has improved parametric sections, second
order shelf filters (with variable slope) and an
18 dB/oct higpass.

This will be released some day as a series of plugins
(using their own standard) together with host/plugin
libraries and a reference host.

ATM it is available as a Jack app to selected users, 
write to me off-list if you want to try it.

Ciao,
