I don't have any problems with the way LV2
provides for future
extensions - it's well done. But requiring such a mechanism to
obtain basic low-level information is as silly as offering the
gas tank on a car as an option (I assume you would include the
wheels as standard).
Haha, nice analogy! Surely you realize that most cars are sold with only the
basic standard-wheels? Sad but it seems that this also the case for lv2. If
you want to have sport-wheels or a bigger gas tank or a speedometer it seems
you have to rely on extensions to the basic version...
BTW: I wouldn't think bad about the extension-thing. If only it was optional
and most plugins would run with the basic features and only allow for more
with extensions available. But if I need to have hosts supporting certain
features to use the nice plugins this would have me stick with ladspa...
Another thing: I don't think Linux should ever try to get into the field where
certain interchangeable parts like plugins only work in some rare conditions.
That is what windows already provides, I wanted to get rid of that and
switched to linux...
