The table legend is the following:
- F - Full support.
- C - The code does compile, not enough knowledge about it's correct work.
- E - Experimental support, not enough feedback from users.
- U - Unknown, the code may be built but the correctness of it's work has not been tested.
- N - No support, the code may compile but the work has not been tested.
Supported plugin formats:
- LADSPA (partial support: not supported by plugins that use MIDI or file loading due to LADSPA plugin format restrictions);
- LV2 (full support);
- LinuxVST 2.4 (full support);
- Standalone JACK (full support).
