Hallo!
Of course it's not simple, but there exist already the slv2 library
(sorry if you know it already):
http://wiki.drobilla.net/SLV2
Lars Luthman made also a nice C++ wrapper, so that writing plugins is
really easy:
http://ll-plugins.nongnu.org/lv2pftci
Some weeks ago there was also a discussion on how to make general GUIs
which work also in non-GTK hosts (see the thread: [LAU] Ideas for LV2).
Such helper-tools are needed IMHO and of course they should also run
cross platform and support different compilers ...
I guess they appreciate very much any contribution - they are only a
little bit grumpy if someone proposes a new plugin API ... ;)
However, if we
wish that many media players will support an effect plugin
API, then an easy to use library must be implemented and well distributed,
which supports all needed lv2 extensions you want, so that writing an LV2
hosts becomes a really easy thing.
It's not that simple IMHO, but I'm absolutely open to discussion. So I
appreciate very much your attempt for creating a common, easy to use
API. However, IMHO the answer should be to extended and distribute LV2 so
that it supports all your needs - then all efforts would be combined ...
If LV2 authors seriously want to do that, I'm more than willing to
kill EPAMP and cooperate with them. In fact most media players just have mono and stereo
output and they
can't do more complicated spatialization even with external LV2
plugins (if they were supported).
Yes, but if these plugins would be easy to use, then it would be a real
killer feature for every media player ... :)
