Bill & Doug,
Thank you for responding. As far as the rule goes, is this a hard
and fast rule that I should abide by? If there are no custom views
for the format converter then I should not present it to the user
as a possible plug-in? Currently I am presenting all format
converters (as long as I can pull input since input samples !=
output samples in general) and there seems to be no bad
repercussions other than the plugs you mention don't appear to do
anything other than pass audio through so that may be confusing to
the user.
I just don't want to miss anything for free in case you guys make
a great AUWidget that has no custom view.
Yes - we have the same issue with AU Generator units - for instance,
we have the ScheduledSlice AU that would do nothing for a user, and
the FilePlayer AU that must have its UI showing...
What the Time Pitch and Varispeed do is just publish the generic
carbon (or cocoa) view - so its not really a "custom" view - we're
using this to indicate that this *is* something a user might like to
use.
In fact in AU Lab we will explicitly filter out a "custom" generic
carbon view (so we don't present this view as if it were a custom view)

The rule we've applied to this in AU Lab (which will host AU
Converter units if the source of a strip is a Generator AU) is
that the AU publishes a "custom" view.
We use this as a way for the AU to tell us that it has
applicability as a "user" type of AU, compared with the more
generic convert data role (or some other data management) that
converter units do.
