[LAU] LADSPA SDK: plugin access with analyseplugin

[Joel Roth]

Hi LADSPA experts and tinkerers,

Julien Claassen observed that the LADSPA
SDK program 'analyseplugin' doesn't seem to return
output for some plugins.

For example, Fons Adriaensen's plugin G2reverb.

	$ analyseplugin G2reverb

	Failed to load plugin "G2reverb": G2reverb: cannot open
	shared object file: No such file or directory

In my Debian system, the plugin is named g2reverb.so.  I
discovered that if I rename it to be G2reverb.so and try
again:

	$ analyseplugin G2reverb

	Plugin Name: "Stereo reverb"
	Plugin Label: "G2reverb"
	Plugin Unique ID: 1950
	Maker: "Fons Adriaensen <fons.adriaensen at alcatel.be>"
    ....	

So it looks like analyseplugin needs to lowercase 
the plugin label before searching for it.

I tried recompiling the LADSPA-SDK and see
the same behavior.

Couldn't that be fixed with just a bit-shift somewhere?
I wonder if someone could provide a patch.

It matters to me, because my project, Nama, 
uses analyseplugin to get information about
available plugins. Processing text from a pipe
is much easier for Perl and myself than some
clever C-XS-fu to get the same information.
Even renaming all the files in /usr/lib/ladspa
would be easier.

Regards,

Joel
