[Haskell-cafe] Re: RFC and Announcement: HLADSPA, LADSPA for Haskell

* This approach requires splitting the original C LADSPA_Descriptor struct in the Descriptor and Instance Haskell types, which leads to a design error: there are functions (e.g. _run, _activate ... ) in Instance which really belong to Descriptor (those functions shouldn't change with the plugin instance). For example, with this approach, it is not possible to tell the plugin host if activate() or deactivate() will be used because this is "asked" any instances is created.

I meant "because this is 'asked' _before_ any instances are created", sorry
