Another aspect of this is that the period size set by

or JACK need not necessarily correspond to a soft synth's internal control
rate. CSound is one example of this. The new AMS I'm currently thinking
about will be another. In this case the designer has the choice of either
- calling plugins at the real control rate, and allow the use of LADSPA
control ports to carry LF signals (LF0, ENV, ...)
- or call the plugins at a much lower rate, map LADPSA control ports
to widgets only, and not allow them to be routed.
The LADSPA spec does not clearly define which of the two is intended.
Thats true, I always got the impression it was ntended to be the first.
The envelope trackers from CMT are a good exmaple, audio in, control out.
