-   There is a need for an API that supports hosted MIDI soft synths
-   with GUIs in Linux audio applications.  In time the GMPI initiative
-   should comprehensively address this need, but the requirement for
-   Linux applications to be able to support simple hosted synths is
-   here now, and GMPI is not.  This proposal (the "DSSI Soft Synth
-   Interface" or DSSI, pronounced "dizzy") aims to provide a simple
-   solution in a way that we hope will prove complete and compelling
-   enough to support now, yet not so compelling as to supplant GMPI or
-   any other comprehensive future proposal.
-
-   For simplicity and familiarity, this API is based as far as
-   possible on existing work -- the LADSPA plugin API for control
-   values and audio processing, and the ALSA sequencer event types for
-   MIDI event communication.  The GUI part of the proposal is quite
-   new, but may also be applicable retroactively to LADSPA plugins
-   that do not otherwise support this synth interface.

-     * A DSSI synth plugin consists of a LADSPA plugin plus an
-     * additional framework for controlling program settings and
-     * transmitting MIDI events.  A plugin must fully implement the
-     * LADSPA descriptor fields as well as the required LADSPA
-     * functions including instantiate() and (de)activate().  It
-     * should also implement run(), with the same behaviour as if
-     * run_synth() (below) were called with no synth events.
-     *
-     * In order to instantiate a synth the host calls the LADSPA
-     * instantiate function, passing in this LADSPA_Descriptor
-     * pointer.  The returned LADSPA_Handle is used as the argument
-     * for the DSSI functions below as well as for the LADSPA ones.

-     * configure()

-     * This member is a function pointer that sends a piece of
-     * configuration data to the plugin.  The key argument specifies
-     * some aspect of the synth's configuration that is to be changed,
-     * and the value argument specifies a new value for it.  A plugin
-     * that does not require this facility at all may set this member
-     * to NULL.
-     *
-     * This call is intended to set some session-scoped aspect of a
-     * plugin's behaviour, for example to tell the plugin to load
-     * sample data from a particular file.  The plugin should act
-     * immediately on the request.  The call should return NULL on
-     * success, or an error string that may be shown to the user.  The
-     * host will free the returned value after use if it is non-NULL.
-     *
-     * Calls to configure() are not automated as timed events.
-     * Instead, a host should remember the last value associated with
-     * each key passed to configure() during a given session for a
-     * given plugin instance, and should call configure() with the
-     * correct value for each key the next time it instantiates the
-     * "same" plugin instance, for example on reloading a project in
-     * which the plugin was used before.  Plugins should note that a
-     * host may typically instantiate a plugin multiple times with the
-     * same configuration values, and should share data between
-     * instances where practical.
-     *
-     * Calling configure() completely invalidates the program and bank
-     * information last obtained from the plugin.

-     * Reserved and special key prefixes
-     * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-     * The DSSI: prefix
-     * ----------------
-     * Configure keys starting with DSSI: are reserved for particular
-     * purposes documented in the DSSI specification.  At the moment,
-     * there is one such key: DSSI:PROJECT_DIRECTORY.  A host may call
-     * configure() passing this key and a directory path value.  This
-     * indicates to the plugin and its UI that a directory at that
-     * path exists and may be used for project-local data.  Plugins
-     * may wish to use the project directory as a fallback location
-     * when looking for other file data, or as a base for relative
-     * paths in other configuration values.
-     *
-     * The GLOBAL: prefix
-     * ------------------
-     * Configure keys starting with GLOBAL: may be used by the plugin
-     * and its UI for any purpose, but are treated specially by the
-     * host.  When one of these keys is used in a configure OSC call
-     * from the plugin UI, the host makes the corresponding configure
-     * call (preserving the GLOBAL: prefix) not only to the target
-     * plugin but also to all other plugins in the same instance
-     * group, as well as their UIs.  Note that if any instance
-     * returns non-NULL from configure to indicate error, the host
-     * may stop there (and the set of plugins on which configure has
-     * been called will thus depend on the host implementation).
-     * See also the configure OSC call documentation in RFC.txt.

-     * ~~~~~~~~~~~
-     * There are two minor requirements aimed at making the plugin

-     * 
-     * 1. A host must never send events of type SND_SEQ_EVENT_NOTE.
-     * Notes should always be sent as separate SND_SEQ_EVENT_NOTE_ON
-     * and NOTE_OFF events.  A plugin should discard any one-point
-     * NOTE events it sees.
-     * 
-     * 2. A host must not attempt to switch notes off by sending
-     * zero-velocity NOTE_ON events.  It should always send true
-     * NOTE_OFFs.  It is the host's responsibility to remap events in
-     * cases where an external MIDI source has sent it zero-velocity
-     * NOTE_ONs.
-     *
-     * Bank and Program Events
-     * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-     * Hosts must map MIDI Bank Select MSB and LSB (0 and 32)
-     * controllers and MIDI Program Change events onto the banks and
-     * programs specified by the plugin, using the DSSI select_program
-     * call.  No host should ever deliver a program change or bank
-     * select controller to a plugin via run_synth.
