Hallo Kyle!
Please describe this, as you just did, again in the WIKI. I already added a little bit of technical describtion (as described by Tim) !

There already is a jack VST and Audio Unit for OSX, that's not the issue. What I really want is to just be able to run one master app (my DAW) and have everything else loaded from there, so that I don't have to do the whole 30 mins of configuring and opening corresponding files and settings, stored in directories across the computer thing.
It's a pain to have to adjust and load setting after setting when it could all be saved in a nice project file in a professional sequencer app. For those of us who like what Pd has to offer as a bus insert or midi filter or general audio swiss army knife, we don't want to deal with multiples of files all over the place in different spots, we just want to have a nice compact project space that contains everything in an intuitive way, so we can just touch and go, and save everything so that we can open the project back up again exactly how we left it, all automation and everything stored in the project.
Managing automation in Pd has not been a quick and dirty thing for me, and I'd prefer to leave that task to software that I'm comfortable with. But to have a custom synth or effect or midi chain filter or integrated graphics show work seamlessly from my DAW once I load one single project file is the holy grail to me.
Having 5 programs open and trying to wrangle the routing between them for a half hour to get a song playing is less than ideal. A Pluggo for Pd would help minimize the time and frustration of this by compressing it all into one file that references a bank of subordinate plugins.
