Re: REV-plugins / AMS moog

Hm I still think that renaming should only be done when strictly needed. I can't see the need of this change tbh.

Large part of the community has the patches with g2reverb, I assume more patches (also in other apps like jack-rack) exists. So every single member the community has to adjust the patches. When you install it on an other computer, you've to find the adjusted patch or adjust again.

This missing g2reverb in AMS killed my workflow yesterday already, I could not make the moog patch work

IIRC both libclalsadrv and libzita-alsa-pcmi could be used for building

The problem here is that the original name of the plugin file (g2reverb)
was a bad choice.

You could also try to create a (symbolic or real) link g2reverb.so ->
zita-reverbs.so.

This will probably work with AMS, but may upset other apps which rely
on the unique number and will find duplicates.

There seems to be little maintenance of AMS. The latest version
I could find still depends on libclalsadrv while this has been
deprecated for some time, and the changes required to use
libzita-alsa-pcmi instead are really trivial.
