This is something I've looked at in depth. There might be a wrapper 
eventually, but there's no way I can substitute ladspa for Octal's API 
(this was an issue at one point in my discussion with a few of the team 
members.) They are moving Ladspa in a direction that doesn't work well 
in an application of this type. I suspect it will be possible to build 
an Octal plugin that then loads a LADSPA plugin, but it won't work with 
all of them from what I can tell.

I am trying to get the beta going in the next few weeks so we will know 
soon enough :-)
