The UID is not globally unique
Well, I would prefer that it wasn't, but unfortunately that does
contradict what ladspa.h specifies and what real hosts expect. (jack-rack and Rosegarden at least currently use the
unique ID to
index plugins and will reject plugins with duplicate IDs.)
Yep, and I think thier not alone. I only realised that UIDs were not
globally unique recently myself. Its kinda obvious when you think about
gnerated plugins, but its very confusing.
Using some kind of self-authorising, URI-like scheme would have been a
much better idea, but hey. Its a bit late now.
