[LAD] Dumb Idea #27: LV2 host as kernel?

If one were to build a "kernel" to a digital audio workstation that was itself a bare-bones LV2 host, could things like audio tracks, midi tracks, and mixer channels and the like be built as LV2 plug-ins? I've been thinking a lot about a comment made a while back about how monolithic applications are very ill-suited to the open-source method of development. So I got to thinking about how an operating system works (at a high level; my meager coding skills are no matches for people well-versed in operating systems) and began to ask some questions. This "kernel" would have to handle things like audio routing, and message passing between two "processes" (the LV2 plug-ins), and would jockey the audio in and out of the plug-in graph. It would need to support the GUI and event extensions, and probably a few others, at the very least. The hope might be that if such a kernel could be made, it might then be a lot easier for many people to contribute the small pieces that would make for a usable application. Please feel free to consider this mindless brainstorming if you'd like. -- Darren
