Hi,
I did look at LADSPA, and read some old email discussion, which made me think it wouldn't be suitable (something about the plugin not knowing the total time). But now that I think about it, I can't see how that's a problem, so I'll look again. Thanks to the other repliers too - I'll check everything out.
