when you come up with a way to do that, please do
let us know. this
has been on the table for at least 8 years and no acceptable solutions
have ever emerged. they either offer too little control to the plugin
developer, or simply cannot integrate with the event loop of the host.
OK, I've dutifully searched the LAD and LV2 archives..... :-)
Why did XEmbed not pan out? I didn't see anything negative regarding its
adoption... people just quit talking about. It doesn't even look like it
was discussed on LV2-dev.
