Big sfz sample packs take a while to load. Is there any way one can get the loading progress from the carla host api when using the native sfz plugin?

How do I set the backend mode (i.e. Rack mode / single client mode / multi client mode)?

The patchbay port connect function takes groupID and portID. What are these? Also, is there a way to get port names for a given plugin?

Does the way the Carla backend uses Fluidsynth prevent one from implementing it elsewhere in the same program?
I use the Fluidsynth library in an app. However, when building with the appropriate libraries in order to also use Carla, I get the message on standard output when running, and no Fluidsynth clients are registered in Jack. When removing the Carla libraries from my build, Fluidsynth works fine again.
Any thoughts?

falkTX,

What exactly does the carla_engine_idle() function do and how important is it to call it often? I just realized that I kind of forgot to ever call it, and everything seems to be working fine.
