for what is
worth, correct plugin chaining is pretty hard to do. ardour
attempts to do this with LADSPA/VST/AudioUnit/LV2, and its really quite
a difficult problem to get it right for all cases. what ardour does
relies on mechanisms that some way outside of any of the above named
plugin APIs, and are much more related to its internal signal processing
model. if you tried to graft that code into some other host, my guess is
that you'd have to completely reimplement it.
I don't know if you're saying I'm right or wrong (or none of the two).
With an API like EPAMP it would be quite straightforward actually,
without "more abstraction".
