OK, not intending to pick holes in LADSPA specifically, but:-

In GMPI we need metadata to be available prior to this (b/c metadata must
be available before expensive things like sample load or resource load can
happen)
> Instantiated - knows sample rate - do sr specific things
I don't really like the terminology... instantiate implies the creation of
the object, I would have thought it would be more likely that the host
would create the object, and THEN set the sample rate, streaming buffer
size, negotiate connections etc.
Also "Loaded/Unloaded" in this way implies a 1:1 relationship between
code module instances and plugin instances. I would expect that in GMPI we
will expect to be able to spawn off multiple plugin instances from a
single module load.
