If I declare my plugin as control
LADSPA has no such concept. You can have a plugin with
zero or more
ports of any type. Now ... what the host does is rather independent.
For example, if you have a plugin with no audio inputs or outputs, it
will be hard for any host to find a place to use it.
are you familiar with a plugin
that has similar functionality? One I can use as reference?
only will I get all the information such
as rate, format, etc… like a driver and will the frames will be passed to
the driver directly?
There is only one audio format within LADSPA (this is
also true of VST
and several other plugin APIs): 32 bit floating point, with the
convention that it is normalized to -1 .. +1
I saw in a link of ALSA Wiki that there
are several formats http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/PCM
I know jackd is working one format just as use said - but this is stage two
The host will configure the plugin with the sample rate
and any other
required data. You will still need to provide a process method in the
plugin, but it can do nothing.
ok I think I got it - the plugin will get both data
and settings but will pass the data as is (not do anything in the process method) this way
I will extract only the settings without interfering with the data. Nice idea.
