qtractor, as a plugin host, is currently accepting only the following
signal flows:

a) audio_fx plugins: audio_in -> plugin -> audio_out

b) instrument plugins: midi_in -> plugin -> audio_out

any other topology is, well, not designated to comply

a vocoder plugin is usually an audio_fx with direct midi control, which
i'm afraid, is not supported ootb-- it doesn't fit in any of the above
categories :(

gosh, there was this indirect solution as inserts but, don't go that
way. it doesn't work, you'll get just silence :S
