A couple of things i'd like:
variable randomise of the parameters
Speaking of randomizing the parameters, what happened to a random flag
in LADSPA? As I remember, no one had an objection to it. There have been a few suggestions recently, I'l
try to summarise them
for comment.
MOMENTARY. A hint to suggest that a control should behave like a
momentary switch, eg. on for as long as the user holds down the
key/mouse button/whatever. Useful for reset or sync controls for
example. Would be useful in the DJ flanger. Only applies to TOGGLED
controls.
AUDIO_RATE_CONTROL. Hints than an audio control should/could be
controlled by a high time res. slider or control data, but shouldn't
be connected to the next audio signal by default. I can't think of any
simple examples off hand, but combined with MOMENTARY it could be used
for sample accurate tempo tapping.
RANDOMISABLE. Hints that its useful/meaningful to randomise the port
if the user hits a button. This is useful for the steps of control
sequencers, reverbs, and just about anything that's complex. Allows
you to specify which controls can be randomised without anything too
supprising happening to the user (eg. sudden +100dB gain would be
unpleasent).

My comments: I really like MOMENTARY and RANDOMISABLE.
AUDIO_RATE_CONTROL could be useful, but might be painful for hosts to
implement. I dont have any particular use for it right now.

I'm a big supporter of AUDIO_RATE_CONTROL - I think we had come to the
conclusion that it should be a port hint, and named
LADSPA_PORT_CONTINUOUS_CONTROL or something to make it clearer what it
means.
