TODO
* support http://lv2plug.in/ns/lv2core/#CVPort
  - these ports need a buffer with the property value
  - we should sync, then fill the buffer and connect the port
* support presets
  for pl in $(lv2ls); do if test "$(lv2info "$pl" | grep -A1 "Presets:" | tail -n1)" != ""; then echo "$pl"; fi; done
* support more host features
  GST_DEBUG="lv2:4" GST_DEBUG_FILE=/tmp/gst.log gst-inspect lv2
  grep -o "needs host feature: .*$" /tmp/gst.log  | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
