  Description     :  audio plugin host supporting  LADSPA, DSSI, LV2 and VST
formats

Carla is an audio plugin host, with support for many audio drivers and plugin
formats.
It has some nice features like automation of parameters via MIDI CC (and send
output back as MIDI too) and full OSC control.
..
Carla currently supports LADSPA (including LRDF), DSSI, LV2, VST2/3 and AU
plugin formats, plus GIG, SF2 and SFZ file support.
It uses JACK as the default and preferred audio driver but also supports native
drivers like ALSA, DirectSound or CoreAudio.


This is a response to RFP bug #798490.

I intend to package and maintain Carla under the umbrella of the Debian
Multimedia Team.

Carla right now is missing LinuxSampler as a depencency if we want to have
support for GIG and SFZ file formats.
