I know - that's why I said it has helped :)
1. A unified Plugin API
All of the above softsynths have their own plugin format, for
various reasons. LADSPA (http://www.ladspa.org) has helped with
this, making much excellent code available for all these softsynths.
However, the (intentional) simplicity of LADSPA has prevented the
various formats being replaced entirely.
Most of synth (i.e. SpiralSynthModular, AlsaModularSynth, Octavian)
have LADSPA support already. LADSPA is good for filters, but not for oscillators
and other
voltage controlled (in modular synths) modules.
There's no reason why you can't do oscillators in LADSPA:

One thing you can't do is sampler-type stuff as there's no file I/O -
although there is a stomp-box type sampler out there:
