Hey, this looks really good! Now I have a question regarding control
ports (I haven't read all the plugin discussion posts so I can just hope
I'm not annoying everybody with a FAQ). From looking at your source it
looks like the only place where a plugin lets the host know the value
range for a control port is the PortNames string. Now if the host wanted
to provide for example a GUI for the LADSPA plugin, it would have to
parse that string to find out about the ports value range? If so, why
not provide something like
float * PortValueMax;
float * PortValueMin;
and maybe even a
float * PortValueDefault;
with a useful default value for each control port? Oh and if the port is
a simple toggle-value (that turns something on/off within the plugin
(value=0.0 -> off, value > 0.0 -> on)) how about a
int * PortIsToggleValue;
so that a GUI could provide a button instead of range widget?
