Hi,

now I've got dssi~ to compile correctly. It also loads in pd correctly. However, listplugins crashes. I didn't have ladspa SDK installed, because the ladspa packages provided in the ardour website contain only the plugin, so I've installed ladspa SDK via Fink. So, now I have listplugins working.

In any case, I don't know how to check if dssi~ can read my ladspa plugins, because I don't know how to control the plugins parameters with pd. Can you send me a test patch to try a ladspa plugin?

The updated help file in CVS now shows how it should all work. It requires sine.so and hexter.so. In essence, once the plugin has loaded, sending an 'info' message to the object will tell you the LADSPA control and audio ports supported by the plugin, suggested minimum, maximum and default values. All control port data is sent via the first inlet in the following form

|control #<portnumber> <value> <instance>( | [dssi~ <pluginname> <instances>]

Audio rate inlets and outlets will be built dynamically depending on how many audio ports there are, and how many instances of the plugin you are running.

If this isn't clear, let me know, and I will produce some better documentation (i should do that anyway ;-)
