while thinking about what that "l" in ladspa stands for, i've suddenly saw a 
little red guy sharpening his pitch fork ;)

well, but then the whole idea of a kde mm framework would be just an overkill, 
imho. you don't need that for a freakin' mp3 player.

me either, and i think it shouldn't matter: just create a bunch of free 
standing building block and the complexity comes as you put enough of them 
together - think: Aristotle and Lego ;)
