I think you are asking on the wrong list...  This question should
rather be directed to the Ableton Live developers.

I really do not want to appear as a troll and do not want to open a
can worms either but after reading the above quoted sentence I was not
sure what you meant by "open".
http://cec.concordia.ca/econtact/11_3/behles_ableton.html explains one
point of view about what open means in Ableton context and I believe
that jackd is actually a more open solution than M4L appears to be
(albeit less user-friendly to some extent but that's debatable).  I
have not tried M4L so my knowledge of it is rather inexistent but
while driving home last night I heard someone on the radio explaining
more-or-less how it works.  Far from "open", if I understood
correctly.  I guess you should follow Cyrille's suggestion, it sounds
like a reasonable compromise.

On the other hand, I think that M4L idea is brilliant, especially as a
marketing maneuver.

Out of curiosity, how different is M4L from Pluggo (I reckon Pluggo is
discontinued, or am I wrong again?) and could not Pluggo be used in
that context?

Thanks (and sorry if this happens to be off-topic.  Feel free to
respond privately)
