Guys, you are amazing, you are hijacking the thread AGAIN!

The practical effect why it sucks for me is that i archive informative threads in gmail and this way i have to archive a messed up thread to have the tiny bit of information (on how [plugin~] works) somewhere among the 1337 mails.

Actually, I renamed the subject line in my first reply, then removed the plugin~ reference later on ... is this hijacking? We already mentioned the fact that the subject line should have been changed earlier on.


This is what i meant by hijacking again (the subject "list etiquette WAS: plugin~ external")

and given that most, if not all, Linux audio apps can host a LADSPA/DSSI/LV2 plugin circa 2010 I see no reason why Pd shouldn't also be able to host one without 1337 secret handshakes, compiling src, chasing down deps, and other distractions to someone wanting to simply and easily host a plugin to do some audio processing

mind you these 'l337 handshake' solutions are sometimes necessary when solving a Linux audio problem but should not be a 0th order approach to trying to use Pd in a production environment

but never mind, i'm really not into busting other people, i just found it funny that it was happening again...
peace, love & happiness!
