Hi! Since noone else more involved chimed in so far:
I didn’t even notice that some plugins are in packages/music. I think
at at minimum, all audio plugins should be in the same module. Rather
audio than music, I’d say.
How about one module for both LV2 and LADSPA plugins, though?
A naming convention like lv2- would be most welcome.
Moving definitions from one module to another won’t affect any
installation, right? But I take it name changes break at least the
upgrade chain, so users should be made aware of that.
