I don't think we should use parameters for output from a plugin. Output
should be a port, just like an audio output or control signal output.
Parameters should only be plugin inputs which change the state of the
plugin.

Parameters are also usefull for communication from plug to host.
e.g. a Level Meter generated by the plugin for display in a generic interface. Plugzilla does this.
we do this in LADSPA too.
or is my example mis-use of a parameter?
I dont think so, usually it is reflection a parameter of a plugin, eg. gain reduction in the case of a compressor.
So can parameters then be input, output, or inout?
