[Impact]

 * Currently, this is the number one bug affecting Ardour users of Ubuntu (including Ubuntu Studio).
 * Please see https://discourse.ardour.org/t/ubuntu-studio-17-10-problem/88933 , https://discourse.ardour.org/t/process-error-ardour-wont-launch/99829 , https://discourse.ardour.org/t/ardour-wont-load-existing-sessions-or-new-sessions-paid-user/99895

[Test Case]

 * Install Ardour in Ubuntu (or simply installing Ubuntu Studio) and run Ardour. Large potential for immediate crash without explanation or apport bug.

 * Workaround: uninstall csladspa

[Regression Potential]

 * None.

[Other Info]

 * Per the Ardour team, this is currently their number one bug report. Only workaround is to remove csladspa which isn't ideal for Ubuntu Studio users expecting the distro to work "out of the box."
 * Working with the Ardour team keeps (and/or reestablishes) Ubuntu (and therefore Ubuntu Studio) as a recommended distro for audio production and use of their product. This bug is currently an hindrance to that effort.
