That's how I'm testing it right now.  It's like this:

/new_patch p1
/patches/p1/add_output "out_1"
/patches/p1/load_plugin "cmt.so", "sine_faac", "osc_1"
/patches/p1/connect "osc_1" "output" "Output" "out_1"

(osc_1 is the name you give the plugin, Output is a special reserved
module name)

and so on.  (you can get numbers for plugins as well as using the name
you defined)

How's that?
