Dear Maintainer,

In 1.2.33, the lsp jack plagins have been replaced with "standalone" plugins.
What the LSP plugins news file fails to mention is that the standalone
plugins require an audio backend library or else seem to be utterly
useless.

Two possible solutions (both tested with a personal package build):

A.  Enable the "jack" feature, and add 

/usr/lib/liblsp-audio-jack-lib*

to lsp-plugins-jack.install

B. [Probably better]
- rename lsp-plugins-jack to lsp-plugins-standlone
- enable both "jack" and "pipewire" features
- add Build-Depends: libpipewire-0.3-dev
- create lsp-plugins-audio-jack and lsp-plugins-audio-pipewire, both
  Depends: lsp-plugins-standalone (= ${binary:Version})
- install /usr/lib/liblsp-audio-jack-lib* and 
/usr/lib/liblsp-audio-pipewire-lib*
  to these packages.

p.s.
If you check lsp-plugins-r3d-glx.install, it installs header and pkgconfig files
indiscriminately, which will now include those from the audio backends.
- Maybe put them in their new respective packages
- Maybe put those in a -dev package, along with .a files?
- Maybe nobody cares?

Thanks in advance,
Itaï
