I would love to see that too. I would say its enough to agree on the conventions (format and place in filesystem) and add them as a comment to the ladspa header. In GStreamer we have a preset interface [1] for plugin and I would like to implement that for the ladspa wrapper then. The default implementation of the iface uses GKeyfile as a storage backend (like windows ini files). The implementation [2][3] handles system wide data in e.g. /usr/share/ladspa and user data in $HOME/.ladspa/.
