good luck with that.

audio unit identifiers have 3 fields. From my own source code, a comment:

            /* although apple designed the subtype field to be a "category"
indicator,
           its really turned into a plugin ID field for a given
manufacturer. Hence
           there are no categories for AudioUnits. However, to keep the
plugins
           showing up under "categories", we'll use the "type" as a high
level
           selector. */

you cannot add extra fields/subfields.

if you want classification, you need to use the same identifier format as
apple does for its own AU, by omitting your company name.

stupid. hopefully there's some brilliant workaround.
