Quoting Fons' proposal:
If there are any ports using LADSPA_HINT_SWITCHED, then their
label strings follow after all port names (i.e. the port names
remain in their normal place). In this case the range of valid
indices is increased by the number of labels defined. The labels
are not included in PortCount.
Label strings follow after all port names.
Why shouldn't you be able to ignore them?
Wouldn't you agree that if we come to the point where we can't ignore a
hint we have a serious problem?
Maybe we should try to remember why these bits are called hints?

Well, since these are _hints_ I'd suggest to
just ignore
LADSPA_HINT_SWITCHED in this case. Otherwise a simpler minded host
(applyplugin) might let you use this plugin without problems while your
sophisticated pro app refuses to touch it.
You cant ignore it because that would knock your parsing of the strings
pool out of sync.
