[LAU] Running the guitarix LADSPA plugins on a headless system

[Julien Claassen]

Hello Jeremy!
   Oh bugger, I would have suggested Ecasound/Nama as your first options. :-)
   but there is csound, although I have a feeling, that it's LADSPA support can 
be a little confusing not to say buggy. No idea, what the current state is, I 
tried it last over a year ago.
   Perhaps CLM has LADSPA/DSSI support as well.
   But I'm really wondering, why Ecasound should use so much CPU power. Yes it 
does like to start two instances of plugns. I'm not sure how it behaves 
exactly, when there's a discrepancy between inputs and outputs. but running it 
in Ecasound would have a few advantages: MIDI controllability from the 
outside, a stable and well-behaved host.
   I had been looking, but didn't find it. But I'm sure, that either in 
relation to the sndfile-suite or in the neighbourhood of jack-dssi-host there 
had been another small utility to run LADSPA plugins. Sorry I can't be more 
specific.
   At least sox can handle ADSPA. But sox to my knowledge has no JACK support.
   I hope some of this may be of help to you.
   Good luck
         Julien
