We need a better API with which to build good,

So what are those things, and how will LADSPA2 get us to them? I'm not
looking for perfect foresight here, just some inspiring examples.
So, examples:
Making disconnected ports have sensible behvaiour, eg. making stereo
plugins work as mono ones, if only left in and out are connected.
Port groups that are identified, eg. marking left and right ins as a pair.
So hosts can offer sensible connection options, and distinguish from
sidechain inputs.
Similarly, distinguishing 'audible' ports from 'CV' ports, allowing a
lot more (eg filter) plugins to run in Ardour.
