No, theres a world of difference between totaly fixed and negitiation, when I
hear negotiation I think of telnet negotiation, which is extremely hard
to implement (correctly).

OK, it doesn't neccesarily have to be one plugin that decides what
internal code to use, you could have a set that are hinted to be
functionally the "same" to the host, so it can pick the one that matches
the i/o configuration it has. That would also solve the twin mono v's
stereo compressor problem.
I dont know if thats a sensible approach or not though, I'l have to think
about it.
