"We haven't think about being compatible with LADSPA yet because the 
Wired plugin API is dependent on the graphic interface (the rack and 
optional view system). However, we mght make a conversion utility or 
provide a new Plugin class that would converts the LADSPA calls to 
Wired calls transparently. The developer would still need to implement 
the gui interface as required."

It looks shiny, though.

I'm surprised that there's an audio app of this complexity that I've
not heard of, but sometimes I don't pay attention.  Oh well, I'm far too
invested (and happy with) ardour to make the jump!
