Description

### System Information

Linux Mint

### LMMS Version(s)

Version 1.3.0-alpha.1.695+g01294192c (Linux/x86_64, Qt 5.15.3, GCC 11.4.0).

### Most Recent Working Version

_No response_

### Bug Summary

Using Carla Rack to host Surge XT works fine, but if I save and close, then reopen LMMS and load the song, Surge XT produces no audio output even when notes are played. The output meters in the Surge XT GUI show no movement.

### Expected Behaviour

The Surge XT plugin should be properly reinstantiated and notes should play after song is reloaded.

### Steps To Reproduce

1. Add Carla Rack to new song
2. Add Surge XT to Carla Rack
3. Add notes to MIDI track
4. Save song
5. Quit LMMS
6. Load song in new instance of LMMS

Research direction

Reproduce the save, quit, reload, and playback sequence using Carla Rack with Surge XT, then inspect the reload path alongside the reported LMMS logs, especially the missing Surge XT Program value. Done means the plugin is reinstantiated with audio output and its meters respond to notes after reopening the song.
