I really (really) would like to have a sample module too, but you can't
do it with LADSPA, and I'm VERY hesitant to introduce another
program-specific module format (ala SSM, ams, etc.) The duplication
of effort there is awful.
agreed - I'd rather extend LADSPA to allow things like disk access and other
non realtime tasks than create a new standard. Is this at all possible?
Not easily. The obvious ting to do is let LADSPA plugin create threads,
but this breaks many hosts.
DSSI could be regarded as an extension of LADSPA - it adds an additional
process that communicates via IPC.
