Good idea - I'll add that to me ever-growing TODO list :-/ The mian idea was to allow hosts to provided dedicated input widgets for eg. dB, but it was also intended to allow hosts to do automatic conversion between plugins - eg. two different delays that measure time in ms or s. Though maybe that's a bit farfetched. - Steve _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
