	 * shortnames, and roughly the same functionality.  URIs should
	 * probably contain a version number (or similar) for this reason.
	 *
	 * Rationale:  When serializing session/patch/etc files, hosts MUST
	 * refer to a loaded plugin by the plugin URI only.  In the future

	 * found. This function must return NULL if instantiation fails.
	 *
	 * bundle_path is a string of the path to the LV2 bundle which contains
	 * this plugin binary.  It MUST include the trailing directory separator
	 * (e.g. '/') so that BundlePath + filename gives the path to a file
	 * in the bundle.
	 *
	 * features is a NULL terminated array of LV2_Feature structs which

	 * instantiate if required features are not found here (however hosts
	 * SHOULD NOT use this as a discovery mechanism, instead reading the
	 * data file before attempting to instantiate the plugin).  This array
	 * must always exist; if a host has no features, it MUST pass a single
	 * element array containing NULL (to simplify plugins).

	 * The data location is expected to be of the type defined in the
	 * plugin's data file (e.g. an array of float for an lv2:AudioPort).
	 * Memory issues are managed by the host. The plugin must read/write
	 * the data at these locations every time run() is called, data
	 * present at the time of this connection call MUST NOT be
	 * considered meaningful.
	 *
	 * The host MUST NOT try to connect a data buffer to a port index
	 * that is not defined in the RDF data for the plugin. If it does,
	 * the plugin's behaviour is undefined.
	 *
	 * connect_port() may be called more than once for a plugin instance
	 * to allow the host to change the buffers that the plugin is reading
	 * or writing. These calls may be made before or after activate()
	 * or deactivate() calls.  Note that there may be realtime constraints
	 * on connect_port (see lv2:hardRTCapable in lv2.ttl).
	 *
	 * connect_port() MUST be called at least once for each port before
	 * run() is called.  The plugin must pay careful attention to the block
	 * size passed to the run function as the block allocated may only just
	 * be large enough to contain the block of data (typically samples), and
	 * is not guaranteed to be constant.
	 *
	 * Plugin writers should be aware that the host may elect to use the
	 * same buffer for more than one port and even use the same buffer for
	 * both input and output (see lv2:inPlaceBroken in lv2.ttl).
	 * However, overlapped buffers or use of a single buffer for both
	 * audio and control data may result in unexpected behaviour.
	 *
	 * If the plugin has the feature lv2:hardRTCapable then there are

	 * and then activate(). In this case the plugin instance must reset all

	 * to the run() call as possible and indicates to real-time plugins

	 * call to run() after activate().  activate() may not be called again
	 * unless deactivate() is called first (after which activate() may be

	 * before run(). If deactivate() is called for a plugin instance then
	 * the plugin instance may not be reused until activate() has been

	 * for the last time. This call SHOULD be made as close to the last

	 * deactivation. Note that connect_port() may be called before or

	 * precisely by the extension if it defines any extra data.  If a particular
	 * extension does not define extra instance data, this function MUST return
	 * NULL for that extension's URI.  If a plugin does not support any
	 * extensions that define extra instance data, this function pointer may be
	 * set to NULL rather than providing an empty function.
	 *
	 * The only parameter is the URI of the extension. The plugin MUST return
	 * NULL if it does not support the extension, but hosts SHOULD NOT use this
	 * as a discovery method (e.g. hosts should only call this function for
	 * extensions known to be supported by the plugin from the data file).
	 *
	 * The host is never responsible for freeing the returned value.
	 *
	 * NOTE: This function should return a struct (likely containing function
	 * pointers) and NOT a direct function pointer.  Standard C and C++ do not
	 * allow type casts from void* to a function pointer type.  To provide
	 * additional functions a struct should be returned containing the extra
	 * function pointers (which is valid standard code, and a much better idea
	 * for extensibility anyway). */

 * be found at <http://lv2plug.in>, however it is expected that hosts use
 * a library to provide this functionality.
 *
 * A plugin programmer MUST include a function called "lv2_descriptor"
 * with the following function prototype within the shared object
 * file. This function will have C-style linkage (if you are using
 * C++ this is taken care of by the 'extern "C"' clause at the top of
 * this file).
 *
 * A host will find the plugin shared object file by one means or another,
 * find the lv2_descriptor() function, call it, and proceed from there.
 *
 * Plugin types are accessed by index (not ID) using values from 0
 * upwards. Out of range indexes MUST result in this function returning
 * NULL, so the plugin count can be determined by checking for the least
 * index that results in NULL being returned.  Index has no meaning,
 * hosts MUST NOT depend on it remaining constant (e.g. when serialising)
 * in any way. */
