This API (`The Linux Audio - Developer's Simple Plugin API') attempts to give programmers the - ability to write simple `plugin' audio processors in C/C++ and link - them dynamically (`plug') into a range of these packages (`hosts'). - It should be possible for any host and any plugin to communicate - completely through this interface. - - This API is deliberately short and simple. To achieve compatibility - with a range of promising Linux sound synthesis packages it - attempts to find the `greatest common divisor' in their logical - behaviour. Having said this, certain limiting decisions are - implicit, notably the use of a fixed type (LADSPA_Data) for all - data transfer and absence of a parameterised `initialisation' - phase. See below for the LADSPA_Data typedef. - - Plugins are expected to distinguish between control and audio - data. Plugins have `ports' that are inputs or outputs for audio or - control data and each plugin is `run' for a `block' corresponding - to a short time interval measured in samples. Audio data is - communicated using arrays of LADSPA_Data, allowing a block of audio - to be processed by the plugin in a single pass. Control data is - communicated using single LADSPA_Data values. Control data has a - single value at the start of a call to the `run()' or `run_adding()' - function, and may be considered to remain this value for its - duration. The plugin may assume that all its input and output ports - have been connected to the relevant data location (see the - `connect_port()' function below) before it is asked to run. - - Plugins will reside in shared object files suitable for dynamic - linking by dlopen() and family. The file will provide a number of - `plugin types' that can be used to instantiate actual plugins - (sometimes known as `plugin instances') that can be connected - together to perform tasks. - - This API contains very limited error-handling. */ - -/*****************************************************************************/ - -/* Fundamental data type passed in and out of plugin.
