I agree, it sounds ridiculous -- on first hearing at
least. I'm going
to have to go and read some of this ardour-dev discussion (it's not a
list I subscribe to) and see if it makes any more sense to me then.
ardour-dev has nothing. we do almost all discussion on IRC these days.
I realise it's not easy (or even always possible)
to do the Right Thing
in the host -- my own host has some way to go too -- but I don't
understand why it should be better to create dozens of spurious plugins
than to give the user the information they need and let them decide how
a plugin should be handled.
definitely. for the record, i intend to have ardour do the right thing
post-2.0, but right now when i am putting out fires that prevent us
from turning the corner to 1.0, a solution is required, or maybe i
should say "decision" :)
right now, ardour just requires the user to set this up manually. the
only argument i can see in favor of at least some 2in/2out plugins
having a 1in/2out cousin is that their DSP algorithms are actually
different in each case. whether thats true for the typical cases under
discussion, i don't know.
