I withdraw my objections against the LADSPA default value mechanism as proposed by Richard, because fighting a commonly established fact is by no means a bright thing to do. I still think my objections are valid, and I think that adopting this kludge makes clear to everybody that we, the linux audio developers, are just a bunch of at best semi-professional sparetime hackers. ;) I'd like to see the 1.1 plugin descriptor extended with an API version field, available if a flag named like LADSPA_PROPERTY_HAS_VERSION is set. Another addition I think that could still make it into 1.1 is a docstring for every port much like the PortNames array, also added at the end of the descriptor structure and available if version >= 1.1; I'd be willing to post a patch against the provisional 1.1 header if these ideas meet your approval. Cheers, tim
