Bug Description

Problem: Currently, OpenShot has just a few simple parameters for audio processing. Coding new ones from scratch is probably too much to ask.

Proposal: Add support for LADSPA plugins on top of the existing set. This would allow the OpenShot user a far greater degree of control over audio, with minimum effort by the programmer to implement and maintain the feature. Like any of the available GNU/Linux DAW programs, OpenShot would simply "see" all of the LADSPA plugins the user has installed. Browsing for and adjusting the levels of these plugins would use the exact same interface elements as existing built-in plugins.

Some of the LADSPA plugins are of dubious worth for a video editor (such as amp emulation), but others like EQ or the ability to add a bit of reverb would be very valuable.

The otherwise outclassed PiTiVi already has this feature, FWIW.

Agreed. provided you have a recent version of MLT, then LADSPA effects will work in Openshot given a suitable definition XML file.

I have got a couple that I tried out (including reverb) - I'll try and dig them out and attach them to this report so some examples exist.
