Sorry for naivety or that I am trying to be cute, but in this case host should 
be unable also to output sound from LV2 plugins. IMHO, any plugin, being a part 
of some host, can only give it data and receive them from it.

Check me.

Well, LADSPA (and afaik, LV2 also) plugins are made to exchange data between the any host indiscriminately. They don't care where data comes from (besides memory location) and they don't care what is done after data is given back to host.

Since there are host software for various purposes, it is their problem to output data in one way or another.

You can of course write "output plugin", but it kind of beats the purpose. Since host must be aware of these "output plugins" they are not "indiscriminate" to host and they "care" what happens to data.
