JFTR, assumed it should be possible to get a new stereo bus, are the aux
send plug ins pre or post fader? Pre fader would be completely useless!
For MIDI synth plugins, when the volume is controlled by MIDI CC, then
sure, an aux only can be post fader. But for audio? I fear to get a pre
fader aux.

I searched the Internet and I didn't found any sane virtual mixer. Is
there a mixer?

I need stereo or mono channels, it doesn't matter. If stereo channels
only provide balance, it's ok, real panning would be better.

An insert (audio out/in) would be good, but isn't needed, inserting LV2
and LADSP effects would be good, but isn't needed, with one exception,
each channel needs an EQ (Fons' parametric EQ or a similar EQ) and I
need at least one _post_ fader aux send to a sub group or at least to an
aux return pot for the stereo master sum. Pre fader aux would be
completely useless.
