I'm not sure if this is the right package to file this bug to, or even if there is one.
At least I'm talking to the Debian Multimedia Maintainers this way.

I wanted to file the debian equivalent of this bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/4577
but debian doesn't have a package called ladspa (yet?).

I've just compiled radium, and it can't find my plugins, but I'm not sure if that's a bug in radium (should have searched the default paths) or in debian (should have set LADSPA_PATH).
Sure I could set it myself, but I want to improve debian if possible.

Hi Bart,

As far as I can tell, there is no need for such a package. LADSPA is
just a spec plus a header file denoting the spec. All the work is done
by hosts and plugins. So the ladspa-sdk package is all we have

I'm not sure if it is reasonable for a package to define environment
variables (is it even possible given the multiplicity of shells and
desktop environments?).

Possibly radium could default to /usr/lib/ladspa if LADSPA_PATH is not set.

IMHO it had better create a launcher script and adjust environment
properly in it.
