[music-dsp] C or C++ ?

The classic way to do this is to have your device as a class, and a 
"factory" that can create the class dynamically. This also makes your 
life easier when you're dumping your patches to disk. I've used that 
approach for PWSynth which eventually made it look like (to the 
programmer) as if the binary plugins and native kernel modules were one 
and the same. The only difference was in the factory code.
