I've added the port shortnames (ladspa:shortname). This is still tentative
in my mind, but as long as it doesn't cause any serious objections it will
stay.
Following a suggestion from Richard Furze I've removed the LADSPA_Data
type and replaced it with void. The ports are datatyped in the data, but
currently only ladspa:float is supported. I have misgivings about this,
but it seems like a good way to open up to more datatypes in the future.
I'd hate to see a future where there are plugins for translating between
different kinds of boring PCM data, that would suck, but this could allow
for some exciting developments. The first person to make a LADSPA plugin
that speaks 16bit int PCM audio data gets the LART treatment ;)
Thoughts?

That is interesting - it could be used to store frames of frequency
domain data, like the spectral variables in Csound, or timestamped
events of different types, like JACK MIDI. In the future.

Hmm, well couldn't we have one libsndfile plugin that can convert
between whatever common boring PCM formats you like? I haven't looked
closely at the ladspa2 stuff yet - is it possible to change these port
types at runtime, if so the libsndfile plugin would only need an input
and an output...

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the
right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.

You can end up burning a lot of memory bandwidth and cpu just doing
pointless PCM conversions.

LADSPA is not a sexy name. please consider using something more erotic
this time.. acronyms are so 80s :)
i'm going to read the header file now.
