A library for hosting LV2 plugins.

Note: This is a work in progress and has not yet been full tested.

## Supported LV2 Features

LV2 has a simple core interface but is accompanied by extensions that can add
lots of functionality. This library aims to support as many features as possible
out of the box.

## Quickstart

This Rust code is for a plugin called mda EPiano. The code sets up the plugin and then runs it. The results of the plugin are stored in the outputs variable.

```rust
let world = livi::World::new();
const SAMPLE_RATE: f64 = 44100.0;
let features = world.build_features(livi::FeaturesBuilder {
min_block_length: 1,
max_block_length: 4096,
});
let plugin = world
// This is the URI for mda EPiano. You can use the `lv2ls` command line
// utility to see all available LV2 plugins.
.plugin_by_uri("http://drobilla.net/plugins/mda/EPiano")
.expect("Plugin not found.");
let mut instance = unsafe {
plugin
.instantiate(features.clone(), SAMPLE_RATE)
.expect("Could not instantiate plugin.")
};

// Where midi events will be read from.
let input = {
let mut s = livi::event::LV2AtomSequence::new(&features, 1024);
let play_note_data = [0x90, 0x40, 0x7f];
s.push_midi_event::<3>(1, features.midi_urid(), &play_note_data)
.unwrap();
s
};

// This is where the audio data will be stored.
let mut outputs = [
vec![0.0; features.max_block_length()], // For mda EPiano, this is the left channel.
vec![0.0; features.max_block_length()], // For mda EPiano, this is the right channel.
];

// Set up the port configuration and run the plugin!
// The results will be stored in `outputs`.
let ports = livi::EmptyPortConnections::new()
.with_atom_sequence_inputs(std::iter::once(&input))
.with_audio_outputs(outputs.iter_mut().map(|output| output.as_mut_slice()));
unsafe { instance.run(features.max_block_length(), ports).unwrap() };
```

## Building, Testing, and Running

- Build - `cargo build`
- Test - `cargo test`, requires mda LV2 plugins.
- Run livi-jack - `cargo run --example livi-jack --release -- --plugin-uri=http://drobilla.net/plugins/mda/EPiano`.
