AFAIK, a custom GUI in LV2 means either you use the same toolkit

as the host, or the plugin GUI becomes a separate process. The

latter may be fine for one or two plugins, but it doesn't scale.
The dynparam extension and init-time parameters are two separate

things. I don't know if LV2 allows the latter. Maybe with another

extension. 
I may consider writing some of my apps as LV2s if and when there

is host that has all the extensions I need. That is not the case,

and I don't see it happen any time soon.
