Sounds good. AFAIK, the LRDF files are especially useful for enumerations. I've

seen several plugins which were not usable without that. But I find important

that the bridge actually behaves as a normal LADSPA host and doesn't rely on

LRDF files to be present.

For me, no. libxml2 is more than 1Mb on my 32bit Debian system. I don't know

what size it will be on Android, after static linking, but I'm pretty sure it

will remain quite big. This won't work in my case I'm afraid. If I add native

LADSPA support, then I can use the Android XML Java APIs to parse XML, without

the need to bundle libxml2, or libexpat, etc..
