We have made a policy of not filing bug reports against AU plugins
that pass the AULab validation suite, because we believe that the
problem lies in our hosting code. When a plugin runs correctly in at
least 3 other DAWs it seems reasonable to conclude that we goofed. In
this case, I've never run the test mostly because I tend to believe
that if you guys released it, you tested it. Am I wrong? :)

However,  I was just intrigued by the comment in the Reaper release
notes. I have been unable to find out anymore about the issue that
they claim to have worked around.

BTW, the "inverse" of the AULab validation stuff - a plugin that tests
host compliance - would be pretty cool. I know, for example, that the
way Ardour delivers carbon events to AU Carbon views is quite
different from other hosts and negatively impacts plugins from quite a
few manufacturers. Sophie Poirier at DestroyFX was kind enough to give
me event traces from Ardour and 2 other DAWs to show this.
