[LV2] Fixed Buffersize Extension Question

[Georg Holzmann]

Hallo!

Thanks for the insights!
And sorry for the noob questions, all this LV2 extensions are a bit 
confusion for me ... ;)

Hm, relying on a maxBlockLength would be at least a little bit easier ...
However, I think I will rather re-buffer everything in my code - because 
I fear it would take a long time until these features are usable in 
hosts distributed by various linux distributions ...

BTW (off topic):
Is there also any host on windows for LV2 plugins? Does e.g. audacity 
support it (I just read posts on there dev list)?

Thanks for the answers and have a nice weekend ;)
LG
Georg
