[linux-audio-dev] All things LADSPA, your input please

Greetings, you may have seen the recent mail on this list looking for an author doing a LADSPA article in a german Linux magazine; I've decided to step in. Now, while I do have some knowledge of the technical nature of LADSPA I can't truthfully say I know all the plugins and hosts out there as well as they deserve. So, I'd love to hear from you: what do you write or use (hosts and plugins, realtime or offline, a shameless plug for your efforts is welcome too!), any issues you take with it, LADSPA vs. VST, the DSSI expansion etc etc; in short, anything you find worth noting is appreciated. Thanks, Tim
