 * 
 * The ladspa (Linux Audio Developer's Simple Plugin API) element is a bridge
 * for plugins using the <ulink url="http://www.ladspa.org/">ladspa</ulink> API.
 * It scans all installed ladspa plugins and registers them as gstreamer
 * elements. If available it can also parse lrdf files and use the metadata for
 * element classification.
