It is possible to support arbitrary audio plugin player backend. Right now it has kotracktive Midi2TracktionEdit and tracktion_engine as the only format, but it is only the converter and sequencer engine player format.

There are some other open song formats such as bitwig/dawproject which might be useful too (Bitwig has no OSS player ability though). dawproject uses some format called vstpresetas a plugin reference.

(Unlike when I created augene, JUCE6 and Waveform11 support VST3 plugins, so there is no gap between those two nowadays.)

We should support "SMF 2.0 Container format" once it's ready. I do not plan to support dawproject, I don't find it nice anymore. I would prefer a format based on multiple DAW vendors' agreement, not by a selfish player.
