Of course it's not simple, but there exist already the slv2 library (sorry if you know it already): http://wiki.drobilla.net/SLV2 Lars Luthman made also a nice C++ wrapper, so that writing plugins is really easy: http://ll-plugins.nongnu.org/lv2pftci Some weeks ago there was also a discussion on how to make general GUIs which work also in non-GTK hosts (see the thread: [LAU] Ideas for LV2). Such helper-tools are needed IMHO and of course they should also run cross platform and support different compilers ... >> So I appreciate very much your attempt for creating a common, easy to use >> API.

I guess they appreciate very much any contribution - they are only a little bit grumpy if someone proposes a new plugin API ... ;) > In fact most media players just have mono and stereo output and they > can't do more complicated spatialization even with external LV2 > plugins (if they were supported). Yes, but if these plugins would be easy to use, then it would be a real killer feature for every media player ... :) LG Georg _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
