Oh I see. Not good. But doesn't audio come before controls?
I was in our code the other day and IIRC noticed audio came before controls.
(That's why I posted.) 
Or is that simply how port ordering is /presented/ to me from LADSPA?

Hypothetically, if the new port really did come after ALL others, would 
 that still break anything, including that LV2 bridge?
If MusE found some control ports followed by audio ports followed 
 by more control ports, it would still cope fine.

Thanks for the enlightenment.
I'm learning (l)rdf and LV2 stuff now, with an eye towards LV2 support. 
(I only recently learned what the 'L' stands for. Now it all makes sense - 
 it's LADSPA all grown up.)
