Thats true, but the voice controller is generally part of the host

sub-patch can be completly ignorant of the voice allocation.

I'll just assume you have your reasons. But
just because AMS is going
to have metadata doesn't mean some modular synth can't use LADSPA
without doing so.
Nor did I say so. To illustrate this point, let me mention the problem of a
voice controller (VC) in a polyphonic patch. How is the VC to know when a voice
has ended and can be re-allocated to a new note ? This requires some feedback
from (typically) the envelope generators. So either you make this explicit
(a solution I do not dislike, but definitely non-standard), or you use a hidden
data path, and in a modular system that means metadata.
