That's not for 0.4.0, only for CVS, right? Depending on non-released libs is
not good. Any alternative, which works with 0.4.0? Maybe with
visual_collection_get_iter()/visual_collection_iter_next()?

Indeed :)

I need to convert the parameter descriptions to gmerlins own format,
which can then be used for saving values in the registry, building GUI
dialogs or passing options on the commandline. Gmerlin plugins never
assume a GUI to be present, they just tell what parameters they have.

Foreign plugins (ladspa or libvisual), get a small wrapper, which lets
them behave exactly as native plugins.
