[PD] use LADSPA plugins under Mac OS X (pd-extended, plugin~)

[Jamie Bullock]

If both dssi~ and plugin~ are crashing, I'm guessing that you have a  
buggy plugin in your path. Of course they shouldn't crash, but should  
handle this gracefully...

Someone reported that sine.so crashes dssi~, so you might want to try  
removing that. Otherwise you could try starting with an empty plugin  
path and adding plugins one-by-one until you get the crash.
