One issue I didn't see considered is "SHARED RESOURCES".
With "resource" I mean: a wave (i.e. a sample), a song (i.e. a
sequence), a graph (of plugins, for graph plugins), etc...
With "shared" I mean that a resource may be accesed by more than one
plugin.
Specifying a mechanism for shared resources you may allow for example
two plugins sharing the same waveform or the same envelope. This is
quite common in trackers.
This could be done via "static ports" where you specify a pointer (and
the size) to a buffer of data. Plugin developers may decide not to use
shared resources, but with shared resources you have an common interface
for some operation (thus easier to implement in a GUI created by a
host): load/save a resource means load/save a song for a sequencer,
load/save a sample for a sampler, etc...
