+/* jack-dssi-host.c
+ *
+ * DSSI Soft Synth Interface
+ *
+ * This is a host for DSSI plugins.  It listens for MIDI events on an
+ * ALSA sequencer port, delivers them to DSSI synths and outputs the
+ * result via JACK.
+ *
+ * This program expects the names of up to 16 DSSI synth plugins, in
+ * the form '<dll-name>:<label>',* to be provided on the command line.
+ * If just '<dll-name>' is provided, the first plugin in the DLL is
+ * is used.  MIDI channels are assigned to each plugin instance, in
+ * order, beginning with channel 0 (zero-based).  A plugin may be
+ * easily instantiated multiple times by preceding its name and label
+ * with a dash followed immediately by the desired number of instances,
+ * e.g. '-3 my_plugins.so:zoomy' would create three instances of the
+ * 'zoomy' plugin.
