Yes, Ardour supports it.
Most LADSPA hosts support this, and are primarily built around this paradigm. 
(Probably with the exception of sound editors I, since they are most oftenly, 
by definition, changing the actual data)

Some examples:
-Ardour
-MusE
-Rosegarden
-Ecasound
- a bunch of helper apps, like jack-rack
(modular synths like)
- Alsa Modular Synth
- Spiral Synth Modular
- gAlan
and many others that I've forgotten
