[Clam-devel] COMMIT 11822 - Re: Faust support - plugins dynamic reloading

[Natanael Olaiz]

David: could I change the 'static' automatic loading of clam plugins to 
one like the faust-ladspa? The initialization of the static keeps opened 
the libraries on background a lot of time, making that your idea doesn't 
work.... Loading specifically on main.cxx (NE) seems to be working...

Regards,
Natanael.
