is that you have to link your plugin with RTLD_GLOBAL in order

(and you probably can if you make a wrapper plugin that loads your
actual plugin), it wouldn't work very well since you would get lots
of symbol clash when trying to load a second instance of your plugin.

Oops, my mind was stuck a little bit in the past when I wrote this. When I wrote

libpds there weren't any support for several dsp graphs, which I guess

you are using to get multiple instances (?). In that case, it might work

to create a wrapper plugin (as I suggested), and load your actual plugin

once with RTLD_GLOBAL, but only if it hadn't already been loaded. I've been

meaning to do this for libpds for a very long time now, but it's been so

much other things to do.
