[linux-audio-dev] LADSPA Issues

Hi all, A while ago I started a thread about the proper way to refer to LADSPA plugins (in save files or whatever) and the consensus was library filename + label. People have been having problems with library name - different packages seem to make different names for the libraries (prefixing blop_, for example) so it doesn't always work. Basically I think using shared library file name is an awful way to reference plugins for numerous reasons. So why wasn't the unique ID the thing to use? There is a unique plugin ID in LADSPA, if not for this then for what reason? In a similar vein, I really think the current system for LADSPA distribution sucks - big tarballs from various devs containing heaps of completely unrelated plugins. A centralized site where plugins can be submitted on their own (or in related groups) would be a great thing, IMO, and would make it easy to verify that unique IDs are in fact unique to solve the above problem. Right now if a developer wants to make just one random plugin, they don't really have a sane way of getting it out there. I'm willing to full-time maintain the site, but I don't really have the hosting/abilities to create it. What do the other plugin authors think about this? Is there a web nerd around with the time/hosting/inclination to build the site? It doesn't need to be fancy, just functional. Cheers, -DR-
