This code is supposed to be portable. To have plugins working in a portable way
is either using ltdl or glib. To appease the KDE people and ease porters to
windows I kept glib out. So I am stuck with stupid ltdl, and I am not going to
maintain my own replacement for ltdl.

Hmm, you might be right on that one. I will try to fix this. It's going to be
messy though. I am not really how the solution for this I use in PulseAudio
works. But in PA the races don't really matter since it is not a library, and I
have perfect control from where i call the ltdl functions. But yepp. I'll fix
it. Stay tuned.
