why not re-write ardour from slow c++ codebase to native d (digitalmars.com/d)?
the features of D offers more modern techniques aiding further development also.
the differences are minor so a re-write wouldn’t be a to big of a task either.

either way, this is a suggestion section, and thus it is just a suggestion.
