aa, ok, that definitely sounds interesting!

True, the description is just a hint. The 'map-ladspa-list' is an ECI 
command (see ecasound-iam(1) man page) that returns a list of all LADSPA 
plugins visible to ecasound. The returned list also describes the plugin,
its parameters and provides hint information concerning each parameter 
(the min and max values, scale, and also provides a sane default value).
This is useful info if you are building a GUI for selecting which plugins 
to use and to control them.

For LV2, things are potentially a bit different as most plugins will in 
fact have their own UIs (or other control interfaces), so similar amount 
of hint information may not be needed. And due to how LV2 is designed, 
providing this information might be really complicated... although this is 
just guessing, I don't know LV2 well enough to really say for sure yet.

PS This bug is now fixed in latest git tree, thanks for the bug report!
