Yeah, my fault. You know LSCP was actually intended primarily for the use b=
y a=20
frontend application. And the usual way to create a new or alter an existin=
g=20
audio/MIDI device would be the frontend to "ask" the sampler for details=20
about drivers and driver parameters at runtime, that is the frontend would=
=20
ask what drivers are there, which paramters those drivers offer, what the=20
purpose of those driver parameters are, type, possible values, default valu=
e,=20
dependencies, etc.
So that way the LSCP language is absolutely independent of the implementati=
on=20
of each driver and independent of what drivers are actually there and that'=
s=20
why those driver details are not covered by the LSCP specs at all.

I planned to make extra specs for the drivers we have, so you could read wh=
at=20
parameters each driver offers, but haven't found the time yet to do it. If=
=20
somebody likes to start such a documentation, it would be very much=20
appreciated! Docbook for instance might be a good choice.
