sure, thats a good high level description of what ardour is doing. but think about what this actually means in practice: it means that your chaining logic is actually responsible for plugin instantiation (and destruction). a given plugin "unit" might have 1, 2 or more actual plugin instances within it. but if plugin instantiation is being done from within the chaining logic, how does it share code that the host might use that overlaps with this in some way? _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
