I'm looking at lv2 plugin development again. An important part of developing plugins is being able to test them. For linux VSTs I used Jost. For DSSI I used Rosegarden. For lv2 there are a few options: 1) lv2_jack_host - nice and lightweight, but can't display UIs. 2) zynjacku / lv2rack - simple interface and GUI-enabled, but lv2rack seems to only expose one set of inputs for all plugins so you can't chain effects into each other. This will probably be my go-to for testing individual instruments and effects. 3) Ardour2 - great for doing production but not such a good interface for live performance (rerouting effects is too slow). Of course, that is what Ardour is designed for so I can't really call it a fault. 4) Ingen - this seems like the one I want, but you have to compile it from source and I am currently stuck on it not being able to find the pthread library. The current Fedora and Planet CCRMA packages also don't include some necessary lv2 dependencies; I had to include these manually from the lv2 subversion repository. In any event, there is more than enough for me to play with for now.
