Should the zPEQ use fixed band types (low shelf, high shelf, 3 parametric bands) or should there be a type parameter for each band?

EQ types should be selectable IMO, ’cause plugin will be much more flexible. If you want to save some place in editor, I’m sure there should be a compromise… Something like rightclick on a band in a graphical part of editor to change the type of the filter. BTW, what about lp/hp types? It’s very useful sometimes. For example, HP filter to cut lowfreq noises to prevent DC offset. I use it a lot, and I will be happy to use zPEQ for it.

How do you work with mono/stereo plugins? Should there be two separate plugin dll files?

Personally I prefer to choose between stereo/mono processing right in plugin window.

How should the plugins be installed? Should they be included in the Podium installer, or be available as a separate zip download?

I think that they should be included in Podium installer, but with an option to install them or not.

Should the plugins be free (i.e. included in the Podium demo installer) or should they only be available as a bonus for Podium license owners?

I agree with Conquistador. First of all, plugins pack should be useful for new users. So they should be included in demo installer.
