Kai,

the point is that LADSPA plugin is a DLL file - in Linux/Solaris it
will be a .so file, in Windows - .dll file, other OSes might have other
extensions.

I.e. ecasound should look for files with specific extensions which are
OS-dependent.

By the way, audacity being invoked from the same directory correctly
picks only the plugins that were there.

Thanks,
