Btw; you've done some great work with this! Are the any precompiled 
LADSPA plugins (generated with GDAM), available for download
somewhere?

Yep, this can cause problems. Currently ecasound treats all LADSPA plugins

I'd still like to see better support for binary-level version numbering. 
I'm not quite sure how to do this, but in any case, this would make it
possible to make small changes to the API without too much hassle.
