I will definitely look into using DSSI, looks like it
could be good once as supported as LADSPA is (I'd
never even heard of it before your post, although
that's probably just me). Is it intended as an
eventual LADSPA replacement? I never really saw the
need to divide plugins into 'instruments' and
'effects', and it seems like DSSI can do both.
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/
Again, if you're a developer, check it out. Some good minds are behind
its design, and Linux audio software truly needs DSSI (or something like).
Best,
