Once I tried a few LADSPA plugins in Ardour and LMMS I've noticed big
differences in how they work and look like in these two hosts.
LMMS isn't complete when it comes to LADSPA specification and features.
1. Combo switches
Steve Harris' Impulse Convolver is the perfect example - in Ardour you can
read all the different options to choose - in LMMS it is just a knob with
meaningless numbers. How would Dual Filter look like if the combo boxes
were replaced by knobs? Don't answer :D
2. Feedback meters
Almost every compressor or limiter will tell you what is the current gain
reduction applied, so you can aid your knob-twisting and hearing. SC4 does
that too, but LMMS doesn't display this data to the user, severely limiting
the plugins' usability. I know it is best to use our ears - bit for some
reason we use computer screens to make music too ;)

I think even before we get on the LV2 plugins format, we still have some
work to do in the LADSPA field first.
What do you think? How hard could these two be to implement?
