I'm assuming the only ports to be replicated are those which have say a
multiPort property. I don't see why replication would not be the same
in a plugin instance, across all ports with that property. I was trying to point to the question of: Why
base the replication of a
control port on the replication of the audio ports? The audio port
replication is based on the number of channels, so base the replication
of the control port (if it is to be replicated) on that also.
.... the audio port replication IS the "number of channels".
So we have two new port properties: one to say
this port should always be
replicated - audio ports would use this - and another to say that this
port can be replicated but does not have to be. The matching of counts
is implied because there's no sane reason why port replication counts
would not match.
You are (falsely) assuming the replication is the same across the entire
plugin. i.e. there is no global "number of channels" value
