LV2 uses float32 for audio samples and controls.

As you seem to want to write an LV2 host, as it says on [1], have a look
at lv2apply [2] and Jalv [3], they are THE reference implementations of
an LV2 host. That should get you going.

That's not enough. You need to discover number of audio/control ports
and required features/extensions first, e.g. with lilv library.

I'd propose to first write (or at least study the code of) a working
plugin to get to know LV2 before writing a host...
