Incidentally, just on this particular point....

If you do update module-ladspa-sink and bring that patch up to date (I'm
not sure how much work was needed to make it work with current git
master?), then please submit this patch separately to the one adding the
master_port support.

It is *much* better to only commit one change at a time rather than
group up unrelated changes.

Hope that makes sense but if not, just ask.
