Oof, I think that if an AU needs to be compatible with VST fxp and fxb
files, then it should provide its own custom loader.

No no no, I never meant to restrict AUs that way ;-)

IMHO it should be enough to offer convert/import from Xternal to AU, 'cause who wants to go back, he?

Sure, it's an easy thing to write your own importer for fxp/fxb, but it would be cool to have an consistent (that word again :-) API for it which could be managed by the host (you see, I wanna delegate...).

Sth. like:

virtual ComponentResult GetProperty( AudioUnitPropertyID [...] void * outData) {
if (inID == kAudioUnitProperty_GetXternalFormatList) {
XternalFormatSpec XFormatsList[] = {
{k_VST_fxp, kPresetType},
{k_VST_fxb, kBankType},
{0,0}};
outdata = XFormatsList;
return noErr;
}
[...]
}

So every plug that thinks has a VST (or MAS or whatsoever) counterpart can report to host it likes to have an import button next to preset loader. - Would save us plugsperts a lot of work...

Cheers,

;) Urs
