If I may chime in here... I urge all Linux audio
developers to read the
DSSI spec, it's well-written and directly addresses some of LADSPA's
shortcomings. After working with VSTi plugins for a while I've begun to
see the need for something similar in a native Linux architecture, and I
think DSSI is an excellent way for us to get that. If you don't already
know about it, you can learn more about DSSI here:
http://dssi.sourceforge.net/
I second that. I love LADSPA and i appreciate its contribution to Linux
audio in general, and i'm still using it, but DSSI is better pretty much
any way you look at it.
Hopefully the authors of LADSPA plugins will start porting their
software to DSSI.
