LADSPA stands for Linux Audio Developer's Simple Plugin API (see
http://www.ladspa.org/).  Basically, it was pointed out on the linux audio
dev (LAD) mailing list that numerous programs were using plugin
architectures and all were different.  So they fleshed out a plugin API
and the rest, as they say, is history.

Right now, only things like compressors, expanders and limiters would
probably be useful to insert into a stream, but if someone wrote an
equaliser or a gate or something, that could well be useful too.
