i think its simple: ports are never automated, parameters are always
automatable if scalar.

this raises a deeper question that should perhaps wait: what happens
if the plugin author wants to offer a choice of:

   a) connect this port to a signal to control my output
   b) use this knob to control my output

this is not hard to imagine for anyone who has ever used a modular
synth. it throws a wrench in the works, though, because connections
are between ports, not parameters. or are they? etc.
