Agreed, I dont see the value in overspecifying control curves, many

This could be either because recalculating the parameter is very expensive
and the prarmeter calculation results have to be interpolated (which makes
the hosts specification of it irrelevent), or because the parameter
absolutly cannot have excursions, but needs a constant derivative in
which case the plugin will need to override the ramp method.
I dont see any point in having anythign other than ramp, and /maybe/
set, but it just seems like a ramp with a duration of 0 to me.

do we really need spline? How many plugins are going to implement that? If
the host wants to approximate a spline, send multiple short linear ramp
events. Then you only need timestamp (start), duration, and value. The
plugin just has to arrive at that value by the end of the duration. Slope
is implied.
