Well, that's to be expected. Win32 DLLs are a mess, and implementing
entire applications as DLLs probably brings in a whole lot of extra
problems. And if you're doing DLL + callbacks anyway, why not just
use VSTi or DXi? Guess that explains most of it.

I'm
not sure how this can be handled easily, there are lots of
things like loading samples that will be impossible to handle
in an RT way, but I'm not sure that something like a sampler
belongs in this kind of API. I know there are VSTi samplers,
but windows people dont have jack.
Well, they have ReWire, but AFAIK, that supports only the "load
as DLL and run as callback" method...
