Chibi is a mini-host audio plugin loader, meant to load one plugin at a time as if it was a standalone application.

These are the goals for the project:

• Provide a quick way to start audio plugins
• Integrate with relevant Session Managers
• Allow to be reused for other projects, so plugins can literally become standalones
• Provide the most useful tools from host-side without any extra plugin work
• Leverage and test Carla as much as possible (avoiding duplicate work and having head-start on features)

Chibi is basically Carla's little sister. It runs Carla's backend behind the scenes and shares quite a few visual traits. Building on top of what Carla has already achieved, it adds only the missing pieces for a "mini-host" setup.
