I'm just a newcomer to AU, but one thing I noticed right off is the
standard
seems to be lacking a description of a settings file. VST includes a
description
of fxp and fxb storage formats and the result is that one can use
settings saved
in one host in another host. With AU's, settings saved in Metro can't
be opened
in Logic. I'm assuming that's due to a deficiency in the standard as
opposed to
a deficiency in the host implementations. Is that right?

Glenn,
this is a "feature" of Logic in that it currently doesn't save a proper
plist (xml file) but confuses it with a proprietary header information.
Niko of Emagic assured me that LAP6 will use proper plists, hopefully
also proper file ending (".aupreset") and directory (I think
/Library/Audio/Presets/ManufacturerName/TheComponentName/) for storage,
so this annoying confusion will hopefully vanish.
In addition, hosts are encouraged to open .fxp files in a way that if
a) PlugIn name matches, b) ComponentSubType == VST PlugIn ID, they pass
over a proper plist with the fxp's chunck data inside a data key named
"vstdata" to the plugin.
I'm not certain if and how .fxb files are to be treated. Maybe call it
"vstbank"? Bill? Anyone?
Cheers,
;) Urs
