With the currently jalv release, there is no other way to load a preset 
then using a state file.
With your last changeset that isn't needed any more, but currently it is.
As I said, lilv_state_save fails here, for what ever reason, 
lilv_state_to_string works. So I could create a state file from a preset 
which I then could give on the command-line to jalv, to load it.
The copy didn't get deleted by me, that isn't necessary, as it is saved 
to /tmp.
But indeed the copy is just make for this one and only purpose.
