Running easyeffects

No issues except some filters do not work and require calf-plugins. As stated before, this is merely an enhancement and no longer required by the application. Most state they are using lsp-plugins in lieu of calf-plugins, but without calf some simply don't work. So yes, there is some functionality lost, but not a complete loss of application functionality.

For those plugins to work, those users can install calf-plugins, but will lose the ability to use ardour or audacity.

For what it's worth, Audacity and Ardour functioned just fine without calf-plugins being installed with easyeffects installed. In my professional opinion, I wouldn't run easyeffects at the same time since, when doing audio production, you want flat speaker response. :)
