it will be possible for the next major version (1.0). Im in the process
of designing/implementing an interface for such kind of plugins.
The midi plugin is already working for filter like plugins. The interface
is very simple: the plugin in called with two midi event lists, the input
event list delivers midi events from the host and the output event list is
filled by the plugin. All information the plugin needs from the host must
be explicitly provided by the interface.

yes, the plugin interface will be designed for exactly this kind of plugins.
We will provide all information you need to implement an arpeggiator.

you should work on current CVS.
As an example and proof of concept I will try to implement the midi metronome 
as an "midi synth" plugin this weekend.
