+DSSI (pronounced "dizzy") is an API for audio processing plugins,
+particularly useful for software synthesis plugins with user
+interfaces.
+
+DSSI is an open and well-documented specification developed for use
+in Linux audio applications, although portable to other platforms.
+It may be thought of as LADSPA-for-instruments, or something
+comparable to VSTi.
+
+DSSI consists of a C language API for use by plugins and hosts,
+based on the LADSPA API, and an OSC (Open Sound Control) API for
+use in user interface to host communications. The DSSI specification
+consists of an RFC which describes the background for the proposal
+and defines the OSC part of the specification, and a documented
+header file which defines the C API.
