I guess you refer to Faust which can generate several formats and plugins

http://faust.grame.fr/

There is also csLadspa which converts csound patches to Ladspa plugins.

But actually you guys lost me a bit, what is so important about the 
plugin paradigma? The only benefit I can see is total recall but apart 
from it I see no use over using stand alone applications. The plugin 
idea comes from closed source environment which doesnt allow to make 
interapplication connection like you can do now and here with Jack and 
Alsamidi.

Cheers,

Malte
