[linux-audio-dev] LADSPA hints (part II)

[Paul Davis]

i like the recently suggested new hints. i'd like to add the
following, which would allow hosts to do the right thing with 
both SooperLooper and SC4, which are the first (only?) LADSPA plugins
to have control output ports, but use them in very different ways. its
almost impossible as it stands to build a GUI for them both that does
them justice.

/* Hint LADSPA_HINT_OUTPUT_METER indicates that the value of output
   control port is likely to be most meaningful to the user if
   displayed as a meter.  Can be combined with LADSPA_HINT_LOGARITHMIC
   if the meter should use a log scale (e.g. dB).
*/

#define LADSPA_HINT_OUTPUT_METER  0x??

/* Hint LADSPA_HINT_OUTPUT_VALUE indicates that the value of output
   control port is likely to be most meaningful to the user if
   displayed as some kind of numeric value display.  
*/

#define LADSPA_HINT_OUTPUT_VALUE  0x??
