I think there's some confusion here, so I'll be very specific. In the
.so, the _init function would go through each patch file in each
directory and extract the information about them (eg, name, port
descriptors, etc) and build its list of ladspa descriptors from this
information. The host interrogates this list, says "instantiate plugin
X" and the plugin would (some how) load the patch in jmax.
Where am I going wrong?

Could you not
do something similar to the vst plugin? Ie, have an
LADSPA_JMAX_PATH, or something, that has directories containing patches,
and have the ladspa .so build its list of plugins from scanning these
directories? I don't know anything about jmax; is there something that
stops this from working?
But even using this, you still have to pass to the plugin the name of
the patch to be loaded, in case there are several patches (i.e. .jmax
files) in the LADSPA_JMAX_PATH directories ?
