Seems like a good idea to me.  It would be an optional build time  
dependency like LADSPA is currently.  I recently tested FluidSynth  
LADSPA support and didn't experience any issues.  I know it had some  
crash problems in the past, but this was never investigated.  Has  
anyone tried FluidSynth LADSPA support recently?  Anyone willing to  
give it a try?  I suspect that the crash issue is related to  
architecture or something else.  I looked over the code a bit and  
didn't see anything obvious.  Its a bit difficult to fix a problem  
that can't be reproduced!  Perhaps some of the recent thread safety  
changes fixed whatever issue was there.
