The assumption is that the host just passes on whatever
the GUI
selects, and it's up to the GUI (which of course is provided by the
plugin author, or at least built to match the plugin) to understand
the key value pairs. Of course that means if you have no GUI you
can't use configure(), but the alternatives do seem potentially
rather complicated.
hmm. agreed of course about the complicated alternatives. i wasn't
aware that a separate plugin GUI becomes nigh mandatory, which i must
admit i find not to my greatest liking.
however, the entire configure() liturgy makes sense once the GUI
implication is accepted.
i'm not too intimate with liblo/OSC, so sorry for asking an RTFM
question: does OSC provide some sort of alternative, textual
representation of configuration options?
