Well, the *data* can be transferred over the same socket in binary,

the GUI in a way that is not platform-dependent.
Plugins really need to be separated from Interface properly in order
for a cross-platform plugin standard to work properly. Every one of
the existing plugin 'standards' was created in an attempt to solve
this DSP/GUI integration issue, and I think its time the problem went
away with a quick move to XML-based schemes.
SynthEd is a step in the right direction in this regard, I reckon...

From my standpoint, I'd love to see DSP
processes written to a "UAPA"
have a completely text-based interface - stream in XML data, stream
it out, over a socket (what platform doesn't support this?).
Converting between ASCII and IEEE float is two expensivefor this to be
practical.
