+An extension for LV2 plugins which have several execution contexts.
+
+Any host which supports this extension must pass an LV2_Feature to
+the plugin's instantiate method with URI http://lv2plug.in/ns/ext/contexts
+and a pointer to a
+<pre>
+struct {
+ void* host_handle;
+ void (*request_run)(void* host_handle, const char* context_uri);
+}
+</pre>
+where the plugin may call request_run with the given host_handle (from any
+context) to demand immediate execution of the context specified.
+
+If the host does not support blocking contexts, request_run may be set to NULL,
+but plugins which have a :BlockingContext which is :mandatory MUST NOT be
+instantiated. If the plugin has ANY context which is :hardRTCapable,
+request_run must be realtime safe (as defined by lv2:hardRTCapable).
+
+Unless otherwise stated, each context (defined by some URI) adds a new
+threading class similar to the Audio class defined by LV2. Each context has a
+run callback and a connect_port callback both in the same class (i.e. can't be
+called concurrently), but may be called concurrently with functions for other
+contexts (excluding the Instantiation class). Context properties such as
+ctx:hardRTCapable apply to both functions.
+The host MUST only call the correct connect_port function associated with the
+context for that port, i.e. it is an error to use the main LV2 connect_port
+function on a port with a context other than the main LV2 run function.
