Well, we dont really have any basis for comparison. There aren't legions
of instrument developers clamoring for a plugin API, so theres no way to
tell it its OK or not yet.

I'm not particularly worried because LADSPA took some time ot tkae off,
but it is one of the best plugin APIs IMNSHO. OSC seems to be gaining
popularity, and thats a selling point of DSSI.
