@x42 I see the need for this on systems still running current stable Debian but wanting an updated Ardour. It gives a bit more time for people to move from it, rather than just removing the UI support outright.

but also, it is fun :)
I already had all pieces for UI bridging and IPC in place in other tools, so making this was quite quick.
and potentially serves as a way to allow other kinds of UI bridging - think webkit that relies on gtk3 or QtWebEngine - but for LV2 UIs...
