Hi Warren,

If your goal is to write a plugin-host, I suggest to look into liblilv
[1,2] and various related libs in drobilla's LAD repo. liblilv in
particular takes care of all the gory details :). Implementing a LV2
host from scratch is a lot of work.

Also check out jalv [3] (which is a feature complete plugin-host) or
maybe even ardour3 [4], qtractor [?] or the mod-host [5].

HTH,
robin
