Here's a relevant quote from the LADSPA documentation: "Plugin writers should be aware that the host may elect to use the same buffer for more than one port and even use the same buffer for both input and output (see LADSPA_PROPERTY_INPLACE_BROKEN). However, overlapped buffers or use of a single buffer for both audio and control data may result in unexpected behaviour." The way API documentation works, unless something is explicitly stated as being permitted, you can never assume that it is. Even if someone on the ML tells you it's OK that doesn't matter because everyone else who read the API doc will have assumed it was *not* OK and coded accordingly.
