I now of LADSPA, DSSI and LV2. None of them comes close to what is required. Which are the others (apart from Csound opcodes etc.) ? It could be done as an LV2 extension (LV2, like the Borg, could assimilate anything), but nothing is gained by doing that - it just complicates things. Only the discovery mechanism would remain, and it is widely known that I don't much like anything that even looks like XML. There are number of fundamental differences between existing Linux plugin systems and the one I'm working on, so as far as I can see the answer to your question is positive.
