Do not depend on control inputs in XX_activate

[NerdyProjects]

LADSPA API does encourage but not enforce connecting control inputs before the activate call. This leads to undefined behaviour or even segmentation faults (use of uninitialised memory) when using most of these plugins in an ALSA chain.

Fix is possible by a small fix in alsa (call activate as late as possible) but the real issue lies here...

Right, this is an issue as sometimes plugins have a choice between having non-optimal behaviour, or breaking the timing restrictions.

As LADSPA is pretty much obsolete I'm not really inclined to fix, but would accept patches that fixed the issue.

Thanks for your answer. I am in the process of getting the mentioned alsa fix upstream, that's enough for me. So sorry, no patches from my side :)
