If you really want to make a custom GUI for your plugin, nothing's stopping you from writing a simple jack/ladspa host that just takes input, runs it through your plugin, and outputs via jack (this is really easy BTW) and putting whatever UI you want on it. Then your plugin will still be a normal LADSPA plugin everyone can use.
But you cannot automate it in ardour ...
