Pianoteq did it Jack Standalone which is fine. But I think LV2 is even better, not because out of convenience, since we have good inter-application session management now, but because it fits more usecases, therefore getting closer to the 95% mark: A simple LV2 standalone host, which exist, 'converts' any LV2 plugin into a JACK Standlone program without any additional latency, problems etc. But the reverse is not true afaik. You can't run Pianoteq as plugin in Ardour or Qtractor because it is not one and end of the story. But don't listen to me. The people who develop JACK standalone and LV2 plugins are fare more capable to give a real and technical answer, not something from a simple user perspective.
