hi remon and nicola... thanks for that summary! 

one thing that jumps out at me is this statement, on page 8: "In theory the 
MasterOut bus is nothing but a subgroup where all signals pass through before 
going to the hardware."

does this imply that you are not allowing connection to external processes, 
except from MasterOut? there are lots of scenarios in which one might want to 
send signals from subs or tracks to other hardware besides the main monitors, 
or to other software for processing. then, of course, we should also be able to 
connect arbitrary input points to output from other software as well, so that 
we can form processing loops which are external to traverso.

i guess, in terms of external DSP, i'm getting into things which are usually 
handled by inserts and sends, which may be beyond what you're currently 
implementing. however, for live monitoring, the ability to send Sub or Track 
outputs to arbitrary hardware could be quite useful.

cheers!
