I was wondering aloud to Peter (iiwusynth) about this a while ago.
You could implement this kind of stuff in SysExs quite easily and if you
could strip program names from a soundfont too it might prove even more
useful. A softsynth description databurst to the sequencer on connection
could then populate the appropriate information including soft synth
version and features.
If I do go ahead with my TiMidity++ LADSPA plugin effect, I can see this being
something a software package might like to know, so I'd like to include such
a feature.
I'll leave it a while longer for more feedback and then set up a sourceforge
project, maybe.

If you are just looking for a SoundFont soft synth that has LADSPA
support, iiwusynth already has this. I have not used this feature yet
myself, but it is there. Of course I'm not trying to say you shouldn't
implement this for TiMidity++ :) Cheers.
