 what I found was rather tight integration with Rubberband. I was't looking for a

 quite easily add some new stretchers. So, unfortunately, it looks like the way
 to a such plugin API is a bit long indeed... 
 it can't be that bad : see
libs/ardour/stretch.h which has hooks for
 SoundTouch as well. 
 Thank you for this pointer. I must have missed that. If I ever find some time
 for it, integrating Dirac would quite be the first thing I would like to
 contribute to Ardour. It's not very FLOSSish, and I don't really need it right
 now, but there's lot of wow and professional potential I think :) 
Also, there's something funny, it looks like Dirac's author first thought about
making it GPL, then abandoned the idea. Read that:

So, maybe that he could be like the idea of integration into Ardour, and perhaps
loosen the license a bit, dunno..
