yes, that's correct.

i was referring to plugins in the "pure" aka "traditional" sense, like
ladspa, vst, dssi or lv2.

as a standalone jack client, linuxsampler should be available all the
time. you just talk to its lscp server via tcp to provide all the jack
client and port devices you want.

however, Dave has already mentioned that it's the lv2 plugin he's
tallking about. so i guess infrastructure is supplied by the lv2 host
here, ardour not jack.
