That said, we would welcome any effort to unify
VST/DirectX/DMO/OPT/MFX/ReWire/TDM/RTAS/MAS/AU/JACK/LADSPA/... ad-infinitum
into a single cross-platform plugin API, developed and maintained by an
appropriate trade organization or standards group. The proliferation of
incompatible standards makes VHS vs. Betamax look like child's play. Our
industry needs to unite on this point for more reasons than I can list here.

That sure is awesome!
We should organize a meeting with the cakewalk guy and other grups
with a proposal.. We could develop some draft here in the lad
groups and invite other open groups to participate too
(openal, beos advocates, etc). An open, cross platform plugin/routing api
could sure give us a huge boost!
