[linux-audio-dev] LADSPA + GUI?

Hello. What is "/dev/shm"? How it is used? "df" shows: none 62812 0 62812 0% /dev/shm What about the following idea? My LADSPA plugin would allocate a segment of shared memory from "/dev/shm". That is possible because most likely all Linuxes have that device. Then somehow I create a backdoor for LADSPA controls. The backdoor goes through the shared memory segment. Finally, I would write an independent GTK application which provides my own GUI to the plugin. If one does not use the GTK application, then all what is available are controls provided by the host.
