Marc,

Why implement as a callback?? If we do it, why not define a property the host can
call to set this info. My initial reaction is to view this type of
feature as somewhat of a hack. Why should an AudioUnit know about
specific hosts? If behavior needs to be configured, then a host can
call specific properties (such as setting sample rate, or other
custom properties ).

I thought that it might be nice to add another set of host callbacks to the Audio Unit API: host software information. A few good things to be able to query would be host app name (e.g. "Logic"), host app's company name (e.g. "Emagic"), and the host app's version.

You can do this with VST. It's useful sometimes when you know that a particular host has a "unique" way of doing something. This is not an issue now of course, given the lack of public AU hosts, but it probably will be useful in the future. So, just a suggestion...

Marc
