The buffer size issue is the only one mentioned in the excerpt

from my report that I quoted. Everything else, good or bad, about

LV2 that I may have written or not written is just the product of

your imagination. Which I can assure yout gets its mostly wrong -

my overall conclusion was not negative at all.
Judging from the (quite limited) feedback I got on my report,

what you present as an inevitable quality of the whole LV2

project - things are 'designed' iteratively and as the result

of a lot of social interaction - is what scared off my customer.

This is not what you need if you want to launch a product in a

determined time and commit yourself to support it. An idealist

may do that, a company wanting to make a profit and survive for

some time won't.
