There is much undocumented hierarchy lying around, as myself have played with.

I'm talking about LADSPA, a Linux audio developers simple plugin architecture,

It might be nice to add notes on the "plugin architecture" bits.
Don't know how much it is useful to document xmms, but ladspa plugin
is standardized and used rather widely throughout Debian audio apps.
