Having tested lots of softsynths for VST over the years I can say that
many do not provide a patch list to the host. I would expect it to be
the same for LV2.
In this case, Calf Fluidsynth, it seems reasonable that it would
export the list though.
Not that we actually need another fluidsynth implementation ;)
